Atlas of breast cancer early detection

Acknowledgements



The publication of the Atlas of Breast Cancer Early Detection as an online resource was made possible by the contributions and active support of many individuals.

We gratefully acknowledge the guidance of the late Dr Arun Kurkure, a gynaecological oncologist and breast cancer surgeon in Mumbai, India, with whom we had initiated the first idea in collaboration with the IARC team to develop a specific atlas of breast cancer early detection. We would like to dedicate this work to him.

We acknowledge the staff of the departments of radiology, pathology, and surgery at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Hospital, Mumbai, India, for their help in creating this atlas. We are grateful to our patients who have allowed us to use their photographs, images, and data to be published in this resource. We gratefully acknowledge Dr Sharad Kantharia for his contribution in the hand-drawn sketches he made for the breast anatomy, mammography, and breast ultrasound chapters.
