Color Atlas Of Cancer Cytology

The thoroughly revised, updated Third Edition of this popular comprehensive text/atlas on the cytologic diagnosis of malignancies features more than 2,200 illustrations - 800 in full colour & 200 new to this edition. The book provides detailed information on clinical cytology in all organs. This edition offers expanded coverage of fine needle aspiration specimens from the thyroid, thymus, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and prostate. Added diagnostic information for cytology specimens taken either by needle aspiration or scraping of the lung, breast, and endometrium is discussed. The extensively revised chapter on the female genital tract includes expanded discussions of endometrial cytology. A new chapter covers prognostic markers in lymphoma.

This atlas examines the benefits and limitations of immunocytochemistry (ICC) in contemporary cytology. The text addresses offers practical advice on choice of markers, and illustrates the use of ICC in fine needle aspiration and body cavity fluid cytology. This practical handbook will allow for quick reference in the selection and interpretation of markers in specific differential diagnostic in the daily practice of diagnostic cytology. Includes 299 color illustrations.

This new, full-color resource is the only book to document the full range of normal cytologic findings encountered in all body areas. It covers both exfoliative and fine- needle aspiration cytology with an emphasis on standard (Papanicolaou and Diff-Quik) stains. Over 1,140 outstanding full-color images vividly display the complete spectrum of normal samples at a variety of magnifications.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Color Atlas of Pulmonary Cytopathology is the only text to include, under one cover, up-to-date information on every aspect of Respiratory Cytopathology. The atlas includes techniques of bronchoscopy, brochoalveolar lavage, and fine needle aspiration biopsy, a detailed section on cytopreparatory techniques, liberal use of images on histomorphology to complement cytology, emphasis on diagnostic pitfalls, a detailed section on cytopathology of non-neoplastic conditions, and much more. Abundantly illustrated with over 1300 color images, the atlas presents not only the usual cytohistologic patterns of various disease entities, but also focuses on differential diagnostic problems and depicts the differentiating features.

The primary thrust of this atlas is a comparison between different diagnostic entities with cytologic findings summarized in tabulated forms. The book contains over 3,200 full color photographs that illustrate the criteria for the cytology described. The Color Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Exfoliative and Aspiration Cytopathology is an excellent reference for everyday use when difficult and challenging cases face both cytotechnologists and pathologists. A tabulated form of information saves valuable time while reporting cytopathology.
