Description
Book SynopsisLiquid-based cytology preparations are currently the standard of care for gynecological cytology, and are being increasingly used for non-gynecological cytology. Diagnostic Liquid-Based Cytology serves as a handy guide to diagnostic cytopathology on liquid-based preparations. The authors, renowned experts in the field, provide clear, concise, and practical diagnostic guidance.
This handbook equips you to achieve accurate diagnosis of most commonly and uncommonly encountered diseases in exfoliative and aspirated tissue samples from various sites. The key cytopathological features of various diseases are described. The book is lavishly illustrated with dozens of color images that depict the full range of common and rare conditions.
Diagnostic Liquid-Based Cytology offers highly practical guidance and information needed to solve common diagnostic challenges in liquid-based cytology preparations. Appropriate histopathological correlations and a consideration of the possible differential diagnosis accompany the cytological findings. The book is an excellent resource not only for practicing pathologists as well as for pathologists-in-training, and will be the perfect practical resource for daily reference in the cytopathology laboratory.
Trade Review“This is a handbook of cytopathology on liquid-based specimens. … The intended audience is practitioners of cytopathology, and the book would be useful to cytopathologists or cytotechnologists in training or in practice, and pathology residents and cytopathology fellows. It might be of interest to other clinical specialties where cytopathology has or is emerging as a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool. … Get it -- you'll use it often and you'll learn something new each time.” (Valerie Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2017)
