Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Neoplastic Hematopathology, Third Edition

<p>Management of tumor patients now relies on new individualized approaches to treatment, requiring extensive knowledge of the molecular makeup of tumors. Updated and expanded, the third edition of <b>Atlas of Differential Diagnosis in Neoplastic Hematopathology </b>examines not only the differential diagnosis but also the detailed morphologic, immunophenotypic, and especially genetic characteristics of the majority of hematolymphoid malignancies.</p> <p></p> <p>Featuring a new structure and including new chapters, the third edition updates all content and presents considerable expansion on many topics, including:</p> <p></p> <ul> <p> <li>Metaphase cytogenetic and FISH</li> <p></p> <p> <li>Flow cytometry (overview and detailed analysis of specific tumors)</li> <p></p> <p> <li>Acute myeloid leukemia and new classification schemes</li> <p></p> <p> <li>MDS, AML, and B- and T-cell lymphoproliferations</li> <p></p> <p> <li>Abnormal patterns in the lymph node and bone marrow with detail differential diagnosis based on histologic features and cellular composition</li> <p></p> <p> <li>Detailed differential diagnosis based on the expression of broad list of antigenic markers (flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry)</li> <p></p> <p> <li>Extranodal lymphomas </li> <p></p> <p> <li>Diagnosis of MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasm and their differential diagnosis based on the morphologic, flow cytometric, and chromosomal features</li> <p></p></ul> <p></p> <p>The book also provides expanded differential diagnosis of the most common as well as most difficult and rare entities, including morphologic, immunophenotypic, and karyotypic/molecular features. This edition includes updated algorithms for most common diagnoses as well as several new algorithms. The majority of figures have been revised and are in full color.</p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
