Book excerpt: Dunphy (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) helps practicing pathologists, hematopathologists, oncologists, internists, and trainees understand the characteristic morphologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenic/molecular features of the hematolymphoid neoplasms listed in the current World Health Organization Classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms and arrive at definitive diagnoses. In 13 chapters, hematopathologists and pathologists from the US discuss various hematolymphoid neoplasms, rather than focusing on individual neoplasms in detail, and present summary tables and illustrations to show key pathologic and differential features. They include information on definitions, morphologic features, special stains, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry techniques, differential diagnosis, diagnostic features, and special issues for normal findings; myeloproliferative neoplasms; neoplasms associated with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1; myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasms; acute myeloid leukemia and related precursor neoplasms; precursor lymphoid neoplasms; mature B-cell neoplasms; mature T-cell and natural killer cell neoplasms; Hodgkin's lymphoma; histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms; and immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders.

This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents rational diagnostic approaches to common areas of cytopathology, such as thyroid, lymph node and effusion cytology. It discusses differential diagnoses for each site, and describes a systematic approach to narrow down differential diagnoses in a logical manner based on cytomorphology and the judicious application of ancillary tests. Further, it introduces discriminatory panels of immunohistochemical tests, with an emphasis on patient-centred approaches with active clinicopathologic correlations. In addition, it provides practical recommendations for optimizing tissue triage for ancillary testing, in terms of both diagnostic and therapy-related testing. The book also includes sample diagnostic reports to help readers formulate appropriate comments and to aid clinicians in specific clinical scenarios, as well as test cases for readers to apply their diagnostic and specimen triage algorithms. The book equips readers to apply logical approaches to sound cytopathology reporting in daily clinical practice, guiding them through specimen collection and triage to diagnostic workup based on morphologic and clinical features, and writing rational and clinically useful diagnostic cytology reports with a focus on clinicopathologic correlation. As such it is relevant for practising cytopathologists and pathology trainees as well as for cytologists (cytotechnologists) and other clinicians involved in cytopathology diagnostic processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of Diagnostic Cytopathology provides the practicing and trainee cytopathologist with a comprehensive guide to the diagnostic applications of exfoliative and aspiration cytology. The book covers normal and abnormal cytological findings encountered in all body sites where cytological applications are used. Appropriate histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular correlations, together with a consideration of the possible differential diagnoses, accompany the cytological findings. The reader can see a full range of normal and abnormal findings with almost 2,000 full-colour images. The book is heavily referenced to ensure that it will serve as a practical resource for daily reference in the laboratory. A uniformity of basic chapter structure will help readers to quickly find the diagnostic answers they seek. This edition stresses not just the diagnostic cytological features of the various conditions encountered, but also the diagnostic pitfalls and the grey areas between so as to enable the reader to give more evidence-based reports. In recognition of their rapid expansion, there are new chapters on recent technological developments and on the cytodiagnosis of childhood tumours. A special section on the importance of multidisciplinary team meetings that include the cytopathologist as a core member of the team has also been included at the end of each chapter. As active members of this team, cytopathologists can define their role in the management pathway and thus bring the patient and the microscope together as never before. The full text can be accessed online and images downloaded via Expert Consult.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of Emerging Cancer Therapeutics provides a comprehensive review for practitioners on the current status of melanoma treatment. Due to recent drug approvals and increasing ability to offer combined agents, there are many more treatment options available to melanoma patients than even a few years ago. Especially significant are the recent FDA approval of the immunotherapeutic agent ipilimumab for metastatic melanoma, and new agents targeting the BRAF gene in malignant melanoma (these two developments cited among the top 5 most significant advances in oncology for 2011). There is also coverage of the most recent data pertaining to surgical management, staging and prevention, and melanoma in children. The authorship of the articles is outstanding and represents national and global authorities on the topics reviewed.
