The majority of the new illustrations in this book were
taken from cases seen at the institutions where the Editors
and Contributors practice. Thousands of adult women as
well as many hundreds of men and children afflicted with
breast diseases who cannot be recognized individually are
acknowledged for their anonymous contributions to this
and prior editions of
Rosen’s Breast Pathology
.
The task of turning the manuscript into a finished book
has been a cooperative effort. All of the images were digitally
enhanced by Ms. Patricia Kuharic in the Medical Art and
Photography Department of Weill Cornell Medical College.
Her patient and meticulous attention to detail has made an
essential contribution to this book. A sincere thank-you is
extended to the office staff of each contributor for their vital
support, and to residents, fellows, and colleagues who may
have provided cases or images that made their way into the
book. Dr. Dilip Giri is acknowledged for reviewing portions
of the manuscript. Drs. Sonal Varma and Timothy D’Alfonso
contributed especially instructive illustrative material.
After Jonathan Pine took on other responsibilities, Ryan
Shaw, Acquisitions Editor, became our liason with the
publisher, a role he fulfilled efficiently and cheerfully. The
production process was ably overseen by Kate Marshall,
Product Manager, who guided us and offered many helpful
suggestions that have improved the book.
