This book describes a novel and proven approach to cytologically classify urinary samples for the detection of bladder cancer and lesions of the upper urinary tract. The new method is based on the collective experience of knowledgeable cytopathologists who have tested the terminology within their own laboratories for reproducibility and predictability of neoplasms of the urinary tract. Accompanying the written criteria for each diagnostic category are meticulously photographed exemplars of the cellular features, with cogently annotated descriptions of the photographs. The book thereby performs as an atlas for microscopists involved in diagnostic cytopathology at all levels of their education. Included in the targeted readership are experienced pathologists, cytotechnologists, and students of both professional groups. The new terminology also considers the clinical aspects of patient management. Written by experts in the field who convened at the 18th International Congress of Cytology in Paris, The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology presents a global standard for reporting and a new philosophic approach that maximizes the strengths of detecting the potentially lethal high grade lesions by urinary cytology, and recognizes without apology the inability to reliably detect the low grade lesions in urinary cytology. The Concept has been endorsed by the American Society Of Cytopathology, and the International Academy of Cytology.

Rosai and Ackerman's Surgical Pathology Review is the ideal study guide to help you prepare for board certification or re-certification examinations in anatomic pathology. Based on the leading surgical pathology textbook, Rosai and Ackerman's Surgical Pathology, this must-have resource provides comprehensive coverage of all pathologic entities of the major organ systems as well as diagnostic techniques. Rather than presenting page after page of dense text, this reference makes studying a snap by featuring reader-friendly true/false questions. The answers are explained and cross-referenced to appropriate pages in Rosai for further reading. To test your knowledge and assist in your final preparation, the book features a comprehensive multiple-choice examination at its conclusion. From distilling important facts and concepts to providing practical study tools, this essential resource not only helps you study, it helps you study well. Features user-friendly True/False questions in each chapter to promote quick self-assessment. Provides concise answers and explanations after each True/False question, with references to relevant pages in Rosai and Ackerman's Surgical Pathology for more in-depth review. Includes an extensive multiple-choice examination at the end of the book for final preparation. Uses more than 150 color illustrations to illuminate every important detail of gross and microscopic pathology.

Genitourinary Pathology, by Drs. Ming Zhou and Cristina Magi-Galluzzi, a volume in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series, packs all of today's most essential information on genitourinary pathology into a compact, high-yield format! Well-organized and segmented by type of infectious organism, the book's pragmatic approach complemented by abundant full-color, high-quality photomicrographs and clinical photos, and at-a-glance tables makes it easy to access the information you need to quickly and accurately detect and identify molecular and genetic mechanisms of disease. Consult this title on your favorite e-reader, conduct rapid searches, and adjust font sizes for optimal readability. Easily review normal histology before examining abnormal findings so you can avoid false positives. Gain a superb visual understanding of important histologic features with hundreds of full-color illustrations representing a wide variety of pathologic lesions. Benefit from the same highly practical format as other titles in this series: consistent headings throughout, summary boxes for pathologic and clinical features, high quality photomicrographs and clinical photos, and a logical organization by type of infectious organism. Avoid incorrect diagnoses with a separate section on artifacts and pitfalls that highlights common problems you may encounter. Get up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of the field, including new renal cell carcinoma subtypes and intraductal carcinoma of the prostate; newer immunohistochemical and molecular markers; and updates to the Gleason Grading system for prostate cancer, Fuhrman Grading system for renal cell carcinoma, and TNM classification for GU malignancies.
