The first title in the new Case-Based Approach to Diagnosis series, Gastrointestinal Pathology and Liver Metastasis offers a practical, real-world approach to this complex area of surgical pathology. Actual cases, highlighted by hundreds of high-quality clinical and histologic photographs, help you learn and retain key information, including which pathologic findings are clinically significant and which are not. Useful as both an everyday bench-side reference and as an authoritative review for certification and recertification exams, this new volume uses diagnostically relevant cases to teach how to evaluate and interpret even the most challenging lesions.
- Discusses advances in molecular diagnostic testing, its capabilities and its limitations, including targeted and personalized medicine
- Incorporates 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
- Contains more than 700 high-quality, full color illustrations-a complete visual guide to each tumor or tumor-like lesion that assists in the recognition and diagnosis of any tissue sample under the microscope
- Presents extensively detailed information throughout, with descriptions of macroscopic features, microscopic findings, and cytopathology
- Incorporates relevant data from ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics, providing you with all of the necessary tools required to master the latest breakthroughs in diagnostic technology
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
