Molecular Cytopathology (Essentials in Cytopathology, Vol. 26)

Description

• Provides a comprehensive and concise review of the emerging molecular tests available
• Written by experts in the field
• Richly illustrated with color micrographs, illustrations and tables

This book reviews the current applications of molecular tools in cytopathology and provides a concise handbook for those who provide care in this era of personalized medicine. Specifically, the text provides a comprehensive and concise review of the emerging molecular tests available clinically in different subspecialities of diagnostic pathology. It reviews the current data of molecular testing already applied in cytopathology, discusses some of the biomarkers with potential utility in cytopathology in the near future and reviews the technical challenges in applying and validating molecular tools in liquid-based cytologic materials. Molecular Cytopathology will serve as a valuable resource forcytopathologists, cytotechnologists, pathology trainees, and clinicians with an interest in molecular applications in cytopathology.
