Opis

Endocrinology of Cystic Breast Disease is a comprehensive medical text that explores the hormonal and physiological aspects of cystic and benign breast conditions, particularly fibrocystic disease. Edited by Alberto Angeli along with co‑editors such as H. Leon Bradlow and Luigi Dogliotti, the book spans about 325 pages and brings together research from endocrinologists, pathologists, and clinicians working on breast disease.

The book provides detailed chapters on topics including definitions and classifications of cystic breast disease, histology and histochemistry, endocrine regulation, hormonal profiles in benign breast conditions, and biochemical analysis of cyst fluid. It examines how hormonal imbalances—particularly between estrogen, progesterone, prolactin and other endocrine factors—influence the development and progression of cystic changes in the breast. Research presented in the volume looks at steroid and peptide hormone behavior, growth factors, and the physiology of breast tissue response to endocrine signals.
