Summary:This volume explores the myriad of techniques and methodological approaches that are being used in?breast cancer research. The authors critically evaluate of the advantages and disadvantages of current methodologies,?starting with the tools available for understanding?the architecture of the human breast, including?its tissue and cellular composition.?The volume discusses?the importance of?functional studies in breast cancer research, especially with the help of?laser capture microdissection, which allows the separation of small amounts of tissue, as well as specific cells, for biochemical ana.
