An Atlas Of Colposcopy Cytology And Histopathhology Of Lower Female Genital Tract Text With Colour Atlas

The first two editions of this book were published by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP). This product is considered the standard of colposcopy and has the reputation of being the best selling educational teaching module for the physician, resident, or advanced practice clinician who wishes to bridge the gap between the obvious need for increased early detection of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar disease and the intensive education required for colposcopy. The purpose of the society and the book is to provide education about the lower genital tract through the use of colposcopy. This includes the disciplines of pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, preventive medicine, basic research, gynecologic oncology, and endocrinology which are relevant to the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease processes of the lower genital tract. Features Include: •1815 color images; • Complete coverage of HPV related diseases, colposcopy and related topics; • Chapters added on adolescents and the expanding field of anal screening, diagnosis of anal HPV related precancer and cancer through high resolution anoscopy and treatment of anal and perianal neoplastic disease; • Updated algorithms and guidelines; • Companion website that includes searchable text, images and more.

The new Second Edition of Lower Genital Tract Precancer has been extensively revised and expanded to provide a definitive and contemporary reference on this subject. Providing a comprehensive examination of the applications and benefits of modern diagnostic and therapeutic practices in managing lesions of the female lower genital tract, the book is presented in a clear, easy-to-read style and is extensively illustrated. The text covers investigative procedures and techniques, reviews the normal and abnormal cervix and fully appraises the diagnosis and management of both benign and malignant lesions. Vaginal, vulvular and perianal premalignant diseases are discused, and a separate section is devoted to those conditions which mimic, and can thus be confused with, precancer. A new section on AIDS has been included and an entire chapter on pathology is also incorporated.

The new edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments in the field of colposcopy. Beginning with the basic principles of colposcopy, the next chapters explain terminology, technique, and assessment and interpretation of normal and abnormal results. The following sections present an atlas of colpophotographs illustrating normal and abnormal findings. The final chapters discuss different colposcopy techniques and management methods for abnormal results, advances in biotechnology, instrumentation and software, equipment maintenance, and infection control measures. The third edition includes a new chapter on ablative and excisional treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, as well as a comprehensive appendices section including information on training, a colposcopy evaluation form, line diagrams, and more. Key points Fully revised, new edition presenting latest developments in colposcopy Features atlas of over 100 colpophotographs Includes comprehensive appendices section Previous edition (9789350250945) published in 2010

This book presents colored gross and microphotographs of histopathology sections of both common and uncommon tumors of the female genital tract, and also includes the immunohistochemistry of the important lesions. Further, it explains the salient diagnostic features and the immunocytochemistry, molecular pathology and differential diagnosis of each lesion with brief references and discusses recent advances in the diagnosis of these tumors. With numerous images offering guidance on diagnosing different lesions of the female genital tract, the book is intended for practicing pathologists and post-graduate students as well as for gynecology practitioners and post-graduate students.

This comprehensive atlas has been written with the reader's perspective that a colposcopist understands the crux of efficient reporting, minor nuances while performing colposcopy and various procedures related to it, and makes oneself familiar with cytology/ histopathology slides. This Atlas thus gives a complete and comprehensive knowledge about cervical precancerous lesions following a scientific approach. The atlas will be invaluable to practicing gynaecologists, budding gynaecologists and postgraduate students in understanding the CIN lesions along with scoring system, case management and histopathology of the lesions. It will help the readers to evolve as proficient colposcopists and also instill confidence in their day-to-day practice.
