Inhoudsopgave:
Part of the in-depth and practical Pattern Recognition series, Practical Pulmonary Pathology, 4th Edition, helps you arrive at an accurate diagnosis by using a pattern-based approach. Leading diagnosticians in pulmonary pathology offer practical assistance in identifying all major neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the lungs, guiding you from a pathological pattern through the appropriate work-up, around the pitfalls, and to the best diagnosis. More than 1,000 high-quality illustrations capture key morphologic patterns for a full range of common and rare conditions and assist in the interpretation of complex diagnostic puzzles. A unique âvisual index at the beginning of the book directs you to the exact chapter and specific page you need for in-depth diagnostic guidance.\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eHelps you quickly recognize the vast variety of appearances of the lung that result from infections, tumors, and tumor-like lesions, both malignant and benign. \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscusses advances in molecular diagnostic testing, its capabilities and its limitations, including targeted/personalized medicine. \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncorporates clinicopathologic background and relevant data from ancillary techniques (immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics), giving you the tools you need to master the latest breakthroughs in diagnostic technology. \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovers the latest TNM staging and WHO classification systems, as well as new diagnostic biomarkers and their utility in differential diagnosis, newly described variants, and new histologic entities. \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eColor-codes patterns to specific entities, and summarizes key points in tables, charts, and graphs so you can quickly and easily find what you are looking for. \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eShares the knowledge and expertise of new co-editor, Dr. Maxwell L.
