DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This title, part of the Biopsy Interpretation Series edited by Jonathan
Epstein, is a practical guide and bench reference for practicing surgical
pathologists for the interpretation of liver biopsies. Each chapter
follows the series format, which parallels and complements the normal
diagnostic process, with key differential diagnostic features of specific
tumors detailed within each category. It focuses on the practical,
diagnostically useful information that is directly relevant to the practice
of surgical pathology.
Biopsy Interpretation of the Prostate focuses on the practical, need-to-
know information regarding the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate
cancer obtained on biopsy. Advances in surgical techniques have led
to an increased number of prostate biopsies being performed. This
foundation book for the Biopsy Interpretation series provides detailed
text with extensive photographs on the diagnosis of the full range of
benign and malignant prostatic entities that would be seen on prostate
biopsy.
