All chapters have been fully updated and questions are in line with those trainees may encounter in American Board of Pathology examinations. Key learning points are summarised at the end of each topic. Authored by renowned pathologist Fang Fan from City of Hope Medical Centre, California, the third edition of this book is highly illustrated with clinical images and figures. The previous edition (9789352700462) published in 2017.

Fully updated, the 4th edition of Cytology helps you apply the latest diagnostic techniques for the interpretation of a complete range of cytological specimens. This medical reference book offers you quick access to the newest methods and adjunct tests, all in a brief, highly readable format that makes quick work of reviewing the key information available on this powerful yet minimally invasive method. It's a perfectly practical bench manual for trainees and practicing pathologists alike!

In 1999, Dr. Richard DeMay decided to buck the trend of large print references with this portable, practical reference. Since then, 'Practical Principals of Cytopathology' has served surgical pathologists as a ready reference easily carried to a colleague's office. The newly updated version continues to provide encyclopedic coverage of material that the diagnostician needs to have at hand and brings the comprehensive coverage completely up to date. With extensive changes in understanding and nomenclature for many diseases in recent years, this new edition is critical and timely. Every chapter has been completely updated to provide the latest information on scientific advances. In particular, chapters on lymphoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumors have been revamped to incorporate the latest intelligence in these areas. Because it is now the most commonplace method for performing Pap testing, a completely new chapter has been added on liquid- based Pap testing, complete with scores of new quality images to support the information.

In the era of precision medicine, physicians are increasingly in need of more definitive diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive information derived from small biopsy specimens such as cytology samples in order to guide effective patient care. Cytopathology is well poised to meet this challenge. Whilst the traditional cytomorphologic component of cytology practice is still valid, enormous advances have been made in the field of cytopathology thanks to transformative technology and innovative individuals that have augmented the cytologists' ability to meet the demands of modern medicine. The purpose of this book is to describe, illustrate, and review many of the most recent developments regarding modern techniques employed in cytopathology. This latest monograph is intended for all cytologists including cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, cytology lab assistants, trainees, research scientists, and anyone who is interested in the field of cytopathology. We have invited pioneering experts in their respective fields to author these chapters. This book is not only the culmination of their groundbreaking work and effort but also presents a critical review of the current literature. We have attempted to provide readers with an informative and comprehensive aid so that they may better appreciate how emerging technology has been applied to cytology. Each chapter in this book presents a stand-alone contemporary review of emerging topics in cytopathology. We hope that you will find this monograph thought-provoking and a valuable reference for your practice.

Atlas of Cytopathology: A Pattern Based Approach is the latest installment in a unique new series designed to present diagnostic processes in a way similar to how clinicians actually review specimens. The book is image-rich, with scores of illustrations and tables, and filled with checklists, FAQs, and other tools to support fast, easy comprehension of material. Highlighted are common rather than obscure diseases and conditions, and “normal” cytology is presented first to give you a benchmark for subsequent discussions.
