Main description:

This new edition provides trainees with a comprehensive review of cytopathology, presented as multiple choice questions with answers and detailed explanatory notes.

Divided into twelve chapters, the book covers different body systems including the respiratory tract, breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and much more.

Each topic covers key aspects of modern cytopathology including diagnostic criteria, reporting systems, ancillary testing modalities, molecular mechanisms of diseases, and clinico-pathological correlations.

All chapters have been fully updated and questions are in line with those trainees may encounter in American Board of Pathology examinations. Key learning points are summarised at the end of each topic.

Authored by renowned pathologist Fang Fan from City of Hope Medical Centre, California, the third edition of this book is highly illustrated with clinical images and figures.
