Book description
This handbook is designed to help jobbing histopathologists jog their
memory and get through more workload in any working day. Rapid access is
facilitated by a bullet-point, tabular and diagrammatic style, as well
as by handy anatomical diagrams, guidance on the 'Cut-Up' with emphasis
on core 'datasets' and by a special index for frozen section advice,
grading systems and scoring systems. The book provides, where useful,
differential diagnosis lists and presents diagnostically helpful
molecular and immunohistochemical findings. Information is kept
up-to-date on a dedicated website
www. pathbook. com.
The Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology is
not designed to be an “exam cram” and neither will it serve as
a basic text for beginners. Trainees, however, will still benefit from
the sheer breadth of topics covered in this one small volume: from lab
management and lab methods, to autopsy practice, cytology and all
sub-specialties in surgical pathology. A chapter on exam technique and
mnemonics makes the book also an essential companion for those
revising for professional exams.
So why clutter your precious desk space with multiple sets of heavy
two-volume reference works?
Give this handy Vade Mecum a
place next to your microscope and see how much time you could save!
