The first two editions of this book were published by the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP). This product is considered the standard of colposcopy and has the reputation of being the best selling educational teaching module for the physician, resident, or advanced practice clinician who wishes to bridge the gap between the obvious need for increased early detection of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar disease and the intensive education required for colposcopy. The purpose of the society and the book is to provide education about the lower genital tract through the use of colposcopy. This includes the disciplines of pathology, cytology, cytogenetics, preventive medicine, basic research, gynecologic oncology, and endocrinology which are relevant to the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease processes of the lower genital tract. Features Include: •1815 color images; • Complete coverage of HPV related diseases, colposcopy and related topics; • Chapters added on adolescents and the expanding field of anal screening, diagnosis of anal HPV related precancer and cancer through high resolution anoscopy and treatment of anal and perianal neoplastic disease; • Updated algorithms and guidelines; • Companion website that includes searchable text, images and more.

This comprehensive textbook and atlas provides detailed guidance on the performance and interpretation of colposcopy, with a particular focus on the diagnosis of precancerous cervical, vulvar, and vaginal lesions. The book not only describes the role of colposcopy in state of the art cervical cancer screening and triage but also covers the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cervical cancer in low-resource settings, where the vast majority of cases occur worldwide. The indications for colposcopy are clearly identified, and its use is described in a variety of specific circumstances, including during pregnancy, following surgical interventions and radiation treatment, and in the immunocompromised patient. The book will be of value for gynecologists and gynecologic oncologists, general practitioners, and family practice doctors; furthermore, physician assistants, nurses, and midwives will find it very useful for training and as a source of reference, regardless of whether they are working within an established screening program based on cytopathology and/or HPV testing or within a low-resource environment applying visual inspection as the primary screening strategy.

Up to date explanation to the emerging rtechnologies currently used to help diagnose pre-invasive and early invasive cancers of the female lower genital tract.

Designed for quick, easy reference in the office or clinic, this atlas is a pictorial and textual guide to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of vulvar diseases. Full-color clinical photographs and relevant histopathologic photographs illustrate the clinical appearance and histopathologic characteristics of the full spectrum of vulvar diseases. Specific therapies for each disease are discussed. Two indexes enable the reader to look up a disease entity or a clinical presentation. Drawings of the topography of the vulva aid in documenting the location of lesions. Tables on sexually transmitted diseases, vesicobullous disease, and the classification of vulvar diseases are included to assist in differential diagnosis.

This book provides a practical guide to the diagnosis of cervical lesions. Chapters detail recent changes to diagnostic criteria and classification and the impacts these developments have on patient management. The anatomy and histology of the cervix are discussed, along with macroscopic and microscopic changes, prognostic and predictive parameters, epidemiological data, and staging systems. Atlas of Diagnostic Pathology of the Cervix: A Case-Based Approach utilizes diagnostic algorithms and highlights to offer readers appropriate management criteria and aims to give trainees, practicing pathologists, and gynecologists a case-based approach to the treatment of cervical lesions.
