Essentials of Diagnostic Surgical Neuropathology

Description

In recent years, rapid strides have been made in the field of Neuropathology. This has led to significant
improvement in diagnosis. Emerging information on the pathology of neoplastic and non-neoplastic brain diseases
has also improved diagnostic criteria and classification systems, impacting the management of patients.

Essentials of Diagnostic Surgical Neuropathology is the first book on Neuropathology in India that covers the
vast subject of Surgical Neuropathology in a concise, point-wise format, making reading and recapitulation easy.
The main emphasis of this book is on neoplastic pathology, given the revolutionary changes which have occurred in
the understanding of CNS tumors. In addition, the book also explains the pathology of non-neoplastic lesions that
need surgical intervention. In current clinical practice, clinicians are increasingly dependent upon holistic
histomolecular diagnosis that aids clinical decision making. Since ancillary techniques are a very important
component of diagnosis and of the final integrated pathology reports, the book also includes immunohistochemistry
and molecular diagnosis especially in the brain tumor section.

In addition to this, the book has the following special features which, when presented in its user-friendly
format, makes it an invaluable resource:

High quality representative coloured photomicrographs

Immunoprofile and key molecular genetic alterations
