[Diagnostic techniques in breast cancer detection. Part III. The new cytobiological methods]. / Techniki diagnostyczne w raku piersi. Czesc III: Nowe metody biologiczne i genetyczne.

This publication contains an overview of the cyto-biological technologies utilized in breast cancer diagnosis. It refers to technologies created de novo and heralded as a breakthrough ones, as well as to those existing for years. An integration of new diagnostic biogenetic methods, with imaging techniques such as mammography, have become essential in order to cope with the requirements of early detection of breast tumours. Apart from the new and innovative diagnostic techniques, this publication also presents an outline of recommendations for genetic diagnostics as well as cooperative and multidisciplinary integrative activities, which are prerequisites for successful diagnosis and treatment and, consequently, longer survival periods upon which patients rely.

[Diagnostic techniques in breast cancer detection. Part II: Physical and biopsy methods]. / Techniki diagnostyczne w raku piersi. Czesc II: Metody fizyczne i biopsyjne.

This publication contains an overview of methods based on the principles of physics applied in breast cancer diagnosis. It refers both to those created de novo and those that have recently been updated, thanks to the revolutionary progress in digital, computer and information technologies. It also contains an overview of the biopsy techniques considered to be "the golden standard" in breast cancer diagnoses, as well as the latest ones, allowing to obtain ductal cells. An effort to develop new diagnostic methods, based on various fields of physics and integration of various diagnostic methods, needs to be made in order for medicine to cope with the requirements of early detection of breast tumours.

[Diagnostic techniques in breast cancer detection. Part I: imaging methods and their modifications]. / Techniki diagnostyczne w raku piersi. Czqsc I: Metody obrazowe i ich modyfikacje.

This publication contains an overview of the imaging techniques and the related technologies utilized in breast cancer diagnosis. It describes both those known for tens of years as well as the ones developed recently thanks to the new technological developments. An integration and coexistence of the diagnostic methods from classical mammography to the computerized laser mammography has become essential in order to cope with the requirements of early detection of breast tumours, which is a precondition of successful treatment and longer survival periods upon which patients rely.
