Atlas Of Differential Diagnosis In Neoplastic Hematopathology Third Edition

Management of tumor patients now relies on new individualized approaches to treatment, requiring extensive knowledge of the molecular makeup of tumors. Updated and expanded, the third edition of Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Neoplastic Hematopathology examines not only the differential diagnosis but also the detailed morphologic, immunophenotypic, and especially genetic characteristics of the majority of hematolymphoid malignancies. Featuring a new structure and including new chapters, the third edition updates all content and presents considerable expansion on many topics, including: Metaphase cytogenetic and FISH Flow cytometry (overview and detailed analysis of specific tumors) Acute myeloid leukemia and new classification schemes MDS, AML, and B- and T-cell lymphoproliferations Abnormal patterns in the lymph node and bone marrow with detail differential diagnosis based on histologic features and cellular composition Detailed differential diagnosis based on the expression of broad list of antigenic markers (flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry) Extranodal lymphomas Diagnosis of MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasm and their differential diagnosis based on the morphologic, flow cytometric, and chromosomal features The book also provides expanded differential diagnosis of the most common as well as most difficult and rare entities, including morphologic, immunophenotypic, and karyotypic/molecular features. This edition includes updated algorithms for most common diagnoses as well as several new algorithms. The majority of figures have been revised and are in full color.

This Atlas is an essential guide to both the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of neoplastic hematopathologies, based on specific parameters. It will be an invaluable reference for all practicing hematologists, oncologists and pathologists.Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Neoplastic Hematopathology, Second Edition discusses:basic clinical data

This atlas presents not only the differential diagnosis but also the detailed morphologic, immunophenotypic, and especially genetic characteristics of the majority of hematolymphoid malignancies. An expert hematopathologist here provides a valuable resource to understand, use, or interpret one or more of these diagnostic modalities with confidence. This new edition has a compact format with up-to-date information - especially on genetic aspects - and will be an indispensable reference for all professionals in the specialty. *Provides an unrivalled visual resource for differential diagnosis in neoplastic hematopathology *Enables specialist and trainee oncologists and pathologists alike to understand, use, and interpret diagnostic modalities with confidence *Supplies quick access to information via tables, algorithms, and composite figures

This extensive reference covering neoplastic hematopathology includes over 500 colour illustrations depicting hematopoietic tumors involving lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, and commonly affected extranodal organs, with special emphasis on the differential diagnosis. The text discusses basic clinical, prognostic, morphologic and phenotypic data, with numerous tables summarizing the phenotypic profiles of the most common hematologic tumors. A major feature of this book is an approach to hematologic tumors based on the WHO classification, with relevant examples and emphasis on the most useful morphologic and immunophenotypic features used in diagnosis.

Neoplastic Hematopathology provides a concise, visual approach to guide practicing pathologists, hematopathologists, hematologists, oncologists, internists, and trainees to a clear analysis and diagnosis of myeloid and lymphoid specimens. Coverage is comprehensive and for each entity includes a short text description of the key points of the entity- definition; morphologic features; special stains, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry techniques; differential diagnosis; diagnostic features; special issues (e.g., prognostic or other considerations to note). Images in Neoplastic Hematopathology highlight differential diagnostic features, especially the correlation and integration of standard H & E stains with molecular and immunologic techniques. Neoplastic Hematopathology: An Atlas and Concise Guide features: Clear, concise coverage across the wide range of hematopathologic entities based on the current World Health Organization (WHO) classification Topics selected on the basis of "must-know" entities for the practicing pathologist or trainee Emphasis on integration of routine and special stains with immunologic and molecular techniques, reflecting the most current standards of practice Outstanding images selected to highlight key differential points and potentially misleading variants

Many experts now consider genetic evaluation to be pivotal for the optimal diagnosis, classification, risk stratification, and therapeutic decision-making for persons diagnosed with blood cancer. This new text specifically focuses on the genetic alterations essential for establishing diagnosis and assesses how they might impact the precision oncology standard of care. Providing an authoritative review of the state of the art, this is essential reading for physicians, hematologists, and oncologists for optimal management of individual patients.

This fourth edition presents an updated and expanded text and illustrations to reflect continued morphologic, immunophenotypic, and especially molecular advances in the field of neoplastic hematology, mostly due to the rapidly expanding application of next-generation sequencing. Those advances not only allow a more reliable diagnosis of the majority of tumors and identification of early changes such as monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis or clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), but also in many cases identify mutations or phenotypic changes in tumors that can be targeted by mutation-specific or antigen-specific drugs. This edition incorporates the updated WHO classification of hematopoietic tumors and new immunophenotypic and molecular markers to provide a thorough pathologic overview of hematologic neoplasms while focusing on flow cytometric features. Special emphasis has been put on hematological neoplasms with crucial clinical significance such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, other acute leukemias, and difficult areas in flow cytometry. Flow cytometric features in AML, MDS, CMML, CLL and measurable residual disease were significantly expanded. There are many new comparative tables, illustrations, and diagrams of algorithmic approaches.
