Coverage includes normal, inflammatory, tumor-like, benign, and malignant conditions. This edition contains more tables to aid in differential diagnosis of similar lesions.The authors have also added new information on the Gleason grading system; predictive factors on needle biopsy; ancillary studies that can be performed on a needle biopsy; significance of ductal adenocarcinoma on needle biopsy; treatment effect on prostate cancer and its prognostic significance; use of newly described antibodies; the new classification system for stromal tumors of the prostate; and clinical parameters as they relate to needle biopsy findings. A bound-in CD-ROM contains more than 1,700 full-color images - all with detailed legends and 100 with checklists of points in favor of and against a cancer diagnosis.
