Written with useful practicality in mind, Breast Pathology, 3rd Edition, provides surgical pathologists with authoritative guidance on the selection and best use of proper diagnostic techniques when reporting on breast specimens. Dr. David J. Dabbs and a team of internationally acclaimed pathologists incorporate genomic and molecular information, gross and microscopic findings, radiologic and laboratory diagnosis, theranostics, and immunohistochemistry to cover every aspect of benign and malignant lesions of the breast, helping you minimize diagnostic variation and error in the sign-out room. Brings you fully up to date with recent advances, including new molecular information for breast entities, new surgical techniques, more widely used multigene prognostic tests, and assays used to determine treatment, such as PD-L1 as a new immunotherapy biomarker for triple-negative breast cancer. Incorporates the latest classifications of breast pathology and molecular diagnosis. Organizes each topical chapter around relevant genomic and molecular information, clinical presentation, gross and microscopic pathologic findings and diagnostic and molecular immunohistochemistry. Maps immunohistochemistry for each entity according to diagnostic, theranostic, and genomic applications, with specific regard to disease entities in each chapter. Discusses breast specimen handling in detail to assure proper sampling and processing for optimal molecular and immunohistochemistry resulting. Supplies a convenient quick reference at the beginning of each chapter that includes all relevant diagnostic, theranostic, and genomic data for fast retrieval. Features approximately 2,000 full-color pathological images that clearly depict clinical, radiological, molecular, immunohistochemical, and theranostic aspects of disease. Includes biomarker guideline updates throughout. Reflects updates to new tumor staging data in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th Edition and updated ASCO/CAP guidelines for interpreting HER2 assays. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

Through five well-regarded editions, Dr. David Dabbs' Diagnostic Immunohistochemistry has set the standard for concise, complete, guidance on the use and interpretation of immunohistochemical stains. The 6th Edition continues this tradition of excellence, bringing you fully up to date with all aspects of this dynamic field. Easy to use and understand, this practical resource distills the large body of information on immunohistochemistry into a single, convenient reference that is invaluable for today's surgical pathologists. Covers all aspects of the field, with an emphasis on the role of genomics in diagnosis and theranostic applications that will better inform treatment options. Includes the latest grading schemes in several organs along with new antibodies to cover more genomic immunohistochemistry applications. Contains current biomarker guidelines and up-to-date references throughout. Offers a systematic approach to the diagnostic entities of each organ system, including detailed differential diagnoses, diagnostic algorithms, and immunohistograms that depict immunostaining patterns of tumors. Contains numerous charts and tables, as well as 1,500 high-quality color histologic images that assist in making a definitive diagnosis. Discusses diagnostic pitfalls through immunohistologic differential diagnosis wherever appropriate so you can provide the most accurate diagnoses. Covers many more antigens than other texts, and discusses antibody specifications with tables that convey information on uses, clones, vendors, sources, antibody titers, and types of antigen retrieval. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
