Cytopathology Review

The Cytopathology Review is an excellent resource for learning more about diagnostic cytopathology. Cytopathology has evolved over the past 40 years into a significant specialty of pathology utilized by virtually every hospital in the globe. Modern cytopathology has grown from its historical focus on examining "Pap-smears" acquired by exfoliating samples of the cervix and vagina to include alternative diagnostic methods.

Every single hospital in the whole globe employs cytopathology. In modern cytopathology, fine-needle aspiration techniques, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, ultrasonography, and computer tomography-guided biopsies all play an important role. Modern cytopathology tests are routinely employed in concert with ancillary diagnostic methods, including immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and molecular biology. 

The microphotographs of smears acquired in the course of standard cytopathology practice serve as the basis for both theoretical and practical issues throughout the book's 12 chapters, each of which is devoted to a distinct topic in cytopathology. The questions follow a standard multiple-choice format. 

The chapters in Cytopathology Review have been updated, and there are now more questions and more details in the answers. There are also 130 microphotographs. Questions and answers about where cytopathology services are going, as well as who is in charge of them and how they are run, got a lot of attention. Recent developments in molecular biology have gained ground in cytopathology, and this Cytopathology Review edition has addressed those advances as well as the associated concerns with auxiliary testing and modern technologies. 

Important new findings are reviewed not just from the perspective of cytopathology as a specialty but also as an integral aspect of diagnostic pathology. This version of Cytopathology Review now includes a set of frequently asked questions and answers covering the latest reporting systems and management requirements for cytopathology laboratories in both North America and the rest of the globe.
