Abstract

This volume in the highly regarded Diagnostic Pathology series provides a clearer understanding of molecular pathology as it relates to the transformation and pathogenesis of cancer. Diagnostic Pathology: Molecular Oncology is the first reference to apply a practical and clinical approach to examining how molecular mutations affect common medical diseases. Additionally, it identifies the relevant and appropriate molecular tests to perform for a complete work-up in the era of molecular-targeted therapies. Easy to use and packed with outstanding illustrations, this is an essential resource for all pathologists or clinicians who need to keep up with the ever-evolving field of molecular medicine.

  • Up-to-date information on a variety of topics

    • Next-generation sequencing for determining gene mutations
    • Diagnostic use of soft tissue mutations
    • Use of solid tissue mutations such as EGFR, BRAF, and KRAS for diagnosis and treatment of different carcinomas and melanoma
    • Interpreting newly found mutations in hematopathology such as MYD88 mutations
    • Understanding bioinformatics
    • Guidance on selecting the right test(s) at the right time for the right patient

  • Comparisons of molecular testing methods (i.e., FISH testing vs. cytogenetics)
  • More than 2,000 images including H&E stains, immunostains, and FISH images
