Infos

This volume in the highly regarded Diagnostic Pathology series provides a clearer understanding of molecular pathology as it relates to the transformation and pathogenesis of cancer. Diagnostic Pathology: Molecular Oncology is the first reference to apply a practical and clinical approach to examining how molecular mutations affect common medical diseases. Additionally, it identifies the relevant and appropriate molecular tests to perform for a complete work-up in the era of molecular-targeted therapies.

Easy to use and packed with outstanding illustrations, this is an essential resource for all pathologists or clinicians who need to keep up with the ever-evolving field of molecular medicine.

Key Features:

• Up-to-date information on a variety of topics
• Next-generation sequencing for determining gene mutations
• Diagnostic use of soft tissue mutations
• Use of solid tissue mutations such as EGFR, BRAF, and KRAS for diagnosis and treatment of different carcinomas and melanoma
• Interpreting newly found mutations in hematopathology such as MYD88 mutations
• Understanding bioinformatics
• Guidance on selecting the right test(s) at the right time for the right patient
• Comparisons of molecular testing methods (i.e., FISH testing vs. cytogenetics)
• More than 2,000 images including H&E stains, immunostains, and FISH images
• Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase allows you to search all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices
