Very good article on Inflammatory Breast Cancer

Ling29

I've just posted this information in my own thread, but then thought more people may find it if I start a new topic on it. I found this article when I was doing my own research on IBC, and found it tremendously helpful. The title is called Inflammatory Breast Cancer: The Disease, the Biology, the Treatment. It was just published 2 months ago, and was written by the experts in treating IBC. It was written to educate doctors about this rare disease so it is very very thorough, and contains the most up-to-date information. 

I think the article can be really helpful for people who visit this forum. For those of you who are worried about whether you have IBC or not, the first part of the article explains in details how IBC should be diagnosed. Remember it is written for physicians, so it really explains all the possible forms of IBC in great details, and with plenty of pictures. And for those unfortunate ladies like me who have been diagnosed with IBC, the last part of the article have laid out all the best treatment options for IBC patients so far, you can really compare notes between your own treatment plan and the article. Personally I found it really helpful.  

The article can be downloaded from this address http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/caac.20082/pdf.  Let me know what do you think about it and if you find anything good, we can share it together.

Thank you for posting this article, Ling. My sister has IBC 10 years after having IDC, and the info was very helpful.
