Diagnostic Pathology-2판

Description

his expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at
all levels of experience and training. Physicians should have the knowledge derived from morphological findings to
identify the likelihood of a cancer patient having an additional underlying familial syndrome— and to decide if
that patient should undergo molecular genetic evaluation.

This volume is specifically designed to help pathologists, oncologists, and other physicians who diagnose and treat
cancer to recognize syndromes and syndrome- associated neoplasms and advise patients and their families on the
possibility of a familial syndrome and their risk of developing other tumors. Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer
Syndromes, second edition, is an easy-to-use, one-stop reference for information on hereditary cancer syndromes,
including differential diagnosis and management, that offers a templated, highly formatted design; concise,
bulleted text; and superior color images throughout.

Contains all the information necessary to determine whether a neoplasm typically encountered in daily practice is
sporadic or related to a familial cancer syndrome

Features a revised structure to keep you up to date: Part I includes more than 80 detailed chapters describing
diagnoses associated with familial cancer syndromes; Part II contains more than 70 chapters with detailed descriptions
of major syndromes (cross-referenced with diagnoses); and Part III features a molecular factors index that includes a
complete description of each known gene associated with a familial cancer syndrome

Contains updated chapters with newly classified GI, neurology, multiple organ, eye, endocrine, GYN, and kidney
tumors, as well as more than 20 entirely new chapters covering recently recognized syndromes

Incorporates up-to-date molecular findings and their significance for familial cancer syndromes; new techniques and
technologies being used to discover gene mutations and other alterations; and details on personalized medicine targeted
to specific genes
