Book description
The human urinary bladder is subject to a unique and extraordinarily
diverse array of congenital, inflammatory, metaplastic, and neoplastic
abnormalities. This book provides contemporary, comprehensive, and
evidence-based practice information for pathologists, urologists,
oncologists, and other medical professionals.
In Bladder Pathology
, a full spectrum of pathologic conditions that afflict the bladder and
urothelium are described and lavishly illustrated. With its emphasis on
diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses, this book is of
particular value to practicing pathologists-assisting in the
pathologist's recognition, understanding, and accurate interpretation of
the light microscopic findings in bladder specimens.
Features and
benefits of this new volume include:
• 1,741 high-quality, color
illustrations and 112 tables to illustrate the wide range of
pathologic and clinical features in the urinary tract
• An
evidence-based approach to diagnosis and patient management for
infectious, nonneoplastic, and
neoplastic conditions
•
Recent advances in the molecular genetics of the urinary bladder with
discussion of their current or
potential impact on diagnosis and
personalized patient care
• With emphasis on the scientific
validation of current diagnostic methods and their direct application
in clinical practice, Bladder Pathology is a cutting-edge
resource that not only offers comprehensive research and clinical
information for practicing surgical pathologists, urologists,
oncologists, and their clinical colleagues, but also captures a
genuine sense of excitement about recent advances in this vital,
ever-evolving field.
