Practical Soft Tissue Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach

A Volume in the Pattern Recognition Series

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Part of the in-depth and practical Pattern Recognition series, Practical Surgical Soft Tissue Pathology, 2nd Edition, helps you arrive at an accurate diagnosis by using a proven pattern-based approach. Leading diagnosticians guide you through the most common patterns seen in soft tissue pathology, applying appropriate immunohistochemistry and molecular testing, avoiding pitfalls, and making the best diagnosis. High-quality illustrations capture key morphologic patterns for a full range of common and rare tumor types, and a "visual index" at the beginning of the book directs you to the exact location of in-depth diagnostic guidance.
A consistent chapter organization by histologic pattern considers soft tissue tumors the way you approach them in daily practice, helping you arrive at a quick and accurate diagnosis. A user-friendly design color-codes patterns to specific entities, and key points are summarized in tables and text boxes, so you can quickly and easily find what you are looking for. Sweeping content updates keep you at the forefront of recent findings regarding all major neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the soft tissues.

Improved pattern call-outs are now linked directly within the chapter, reinforcing the patterns for more efficient and complete understanding.

Autorenporträt

Dr Hornick's major research interests are soft tissue sarcomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), gastrointestinal cancers, and mastocytosis. My focus in soft tissue sarcomas includes evaluating histologic and immunohistochemical parameters that predict clinical outcome and identifying diagnostic and predictive biomarkers. He serves on 12 editorial boards and was nominated for his prolific research on soft tissue pathology, having published around 400 original papers, review articles, and book chapters

Rezensionen

"this book belongs at the bookshelf (and tablet) of any pathologist getting acquainted with the systematic approach to the complex world of soft tissue tumours."

This book belongs at the bookshelf (and tablet) of any pathologist getting acquainted with the systematic approach to the complex world of soft tissue tumours.

"This excellent book could be considered as one of the key references in soft tissue pathology. It is a particularly excellent resource for pathology residents or fellows who are seeking a comprehensive but concise book on soft tissue pathology."
