Description

Book Synopsis

This authoritative textbook offers in-depth coverage of all aspects of molecular pathology practice and embodies the current standard in molecular testing. Since the successful first edition, new sections have been added on pharmacogenetics and genomics, while other sections have been revised and updated to reflect the rapid advances in the field. The result is a superb reference that encompasses molecular biology basics, genetics, inherited cancers, solid tumors, neoplastic hematopathology, infectious diseases, identity testing, HLA typing, laboratory management, genomics and proteomics. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on the molecular variations being detected, the clinical usefulness of the tests and important clinical and laboratory issues.

The second edition of Molecular Pathology in Clinical Practice will be an invaluable source of information for all practicing molecular pathologists and will also be of utility for other pathologists, clinical colleagues and trainees.



Trade Review

“This is an invaluable source of information for all practicing molecular pathologists, medical geneticists, pathology and genetics residents, and molecular pathology fellows. It also will be useful to surgical and clinical pathologists, hematologists, oncologists, internists, scientists who undertake disease-related basic science and translational research, and medical laboratory technologists. … All chapters are written by pathologists and scientists experienced in the practical applications of clinical molecular pathology tests. … I highly recommend this as one of the must-have and must-read books.” (Michel Nasr, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)
