Neoplastic Hematopathology

This updated reference has been prepared by the world's leaders in neoplastic hematopathology, a field that covers disorders of the bone marrow, spleen, and lymphatic system. This is the only comprehensive, encyclopedic text that covers the three major organ systems and integrates basic science, modern diagnostic techniques, and clinical aspects of malignant diseases affecting these organs. The Second Edition features several new contributors, more full-color illustrations, updated chapters, and three new chapters--Clinical Relevance of the Revised European/American Lymphoma Classification of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas; Normal Histology and Immunoarchitecture of the Lymphohematopoietic System; and Application of Molecular Genetics to the Diagnosis and Classification of Acute Leukemias. Compatibility: BlackBerry(R) OS 4.1 or Higher / iPhone/iPod Touch 2.0 or Higher /Palm OS 3.5 or higher / Palm Pre Classic / Symbian S60, 3rd edition (Nokia) / Windows Mobile(TM) Pocket PC (all versions) / Windows Mobile Smartphone / Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista/Tablet PC

Fulfilling the void with a Hematopathology book that integrates clinical and experimental studies with diagnostic criteria, Neoplastic Hematopathology: Experimental and Clinical Approaches provides an overview of the discipline of hematopathology that connects the field with recent advances in immunology research and current clinical practice in the treatment of lymphomas and leukemias. Designed for both trainees and specialists in pathology and hematology-oncology, Neoplastic Hematopathology: Experimental and Clinical Approaches has separate sections on laboratory techniques, diagnostic hematopathology, treatment and stem cell transplantation. Expert chapter authors address both myeloid and lymphoid tumors, and provide much needed coverage in transplant biology. A study guide highlights key chapter points, making the text suitable for boards review in hematopathology and hematology-oncology.

The Third Edition of Knowles Neoplastic Hematopathology has been thoroughly updated by the world's experts to cover all aspects of neoplastic hematopathology, a field that covers disorders of the bone marrow, spleen, and lymphatic system. Now in full-color, this completely revised and expanded edition integrates the basic science, modern diagnostic techniques, and clinical aspects of malignant diseases affecting these organs. It is the most comprehensive, encyclopedic textbook concerning neoplastic hematopathology available on the market today.

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

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

Most books on hematopathology are neoplastic in scope and offer little non-neoplastic content. In Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections, the authors fully describe the hematologic manifestations in tissue and blood of infectious agents, including many rare and exotic diseases found in both Western and Eastern hemispheres, in order to assist pathologists and medical laboratory professionals all over the world in better diagnosing and treating such infections. Thoroughly illustrated with photographs, tables and text, this book features a wide range of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders, as well as reactive patterns of non-infectious and infectious agents. Comprehensive and state-of-the-art diagnostic materials are described, as are the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical and pathologic manifestations in blood and lymphatic organs—as well as the approaches to treatment. In addition, Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections: Contains detailed information on the pathology and patterns of blood, lymph node, and a number of bone marrow and splenic infections and infectious agent manifestations Thoroughly updates the classic pathology of reactive lymphadenopathies and extends this pattern-based approach to tropical and emergent infections Promotes the multidisciplinary integration of hematopathologists and microbiologists in the analysis and diagnostic work-up of tissue and blood Complements current major treatises on such tropical diseases as Manson's, Ashworth's, and Doerr's and updates the classic tomes of William St. Clair Symmers and current texts on neoplastic hematopathology Non-Neoplastic Hematopathology and Infections is an important book for any medical professional interested in non-neoplastic hematology, infections and tissue hematopathology, infectious diseases and tropical medicine, and tropical hematopathology.

This book will provide a concise, visual approach to guide the practicing pathologist to a clear analysis and diagnosis of myeloid and lymphoid specimens. Coverage is comprehensive and for each entity will provide 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). The text will support a set of images that will highlight differential diagnostic features and especially, highlight the correlation and integration of standard H & E stains with molecular and immunologic techniques.

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.
