Diagnostic Cytology

Cytology refers to a branch of pathology that deals with making diagnoses of diseases and conditions through the examination of tissue samples from the body (MedicineNet.com).

This new edition has been fully revised to provide trainees and clinicians with the latest advances in the field of cytology.

Divided into four sections, each further sub-divided into multiple chapters, the book covers general cytology and the characteristics of cells and tissues, exfoliative cytology (an alternative to biopsy), laboratory techniques, and fine needle aspiration cytology.

The molecular pathology and immunocytochemistry of different tumours are explained in depth. Up to date World Health Organisation (WHO) and International Academy of Cytology classifications are also included.

The third edition of this comprehensive reference is highly illustrated with tables, boxes, diagrams and microphotographs. The book includes access to videos demonstrating cytologic techniques.
