Synopsis

In the 8 years since the publication of the first edition of "Essentials of Anatomic Pathology", great strides have been made in our understanding of diseases and neoplastic processes. Many clinically important new histopathologic entities have been described or more fully defined in virtually every organ. Numerous clinically important diagnostic and prognostic markers have entered routine practice. Genetic testing for the early detection of cancers and the molecular classification of diseases has become increasingly important. This is an age of enlightenment in surgical pathology, and the authors of this new volume have captured this sense of excitement herein. This much praised and widely used reference manual on has been extensively revised and expanded to cover the entire field of anatomic pathology. The Third Edition features the incorporation of full-color images in the text with updates of new diagnostic and prognostic information. New classifications and numerous new entities and histologic variants are fully explored. Useful immunostaining biomarkers and emerging molecular targets and relevant molecular findings that have emerged from recent genomic studies are incorporated in each chapter. Written by internationally recognized authorities, the comprehensive, evidence-based practice information is presented in an outline format that is clear and easy to follow. Up-to-date and richly detailed, "Essentials of Anatomic Pathology, Third Edition" offers both the pathologist-in-training and the practicing pathologist a concise summary of all the critical information needed to recognize, understand and interpret anatomic pathology.

About this title

Review:

From the reviews of the third edition:

“It covers the essentials in a user-friendly (outline or bulleted format) and is well illustrated with color photographs. ... It is intended for residents, but it also can be used as an authoritative reference for quick review by academic and practicing diagnostic pathologists. It will find its way into general medical libraries ... . I predict that this spruced up and quite attractive third edition with high quality glossy paper will prove even more popular than its predecessors.” (Ivan Damjanov, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2011)
