HEMATOPATHOLOGY. MORPHOLOGY, IMMUNOPHENOTYPE, CYTOGENETICS, AND MOLECULAR APPROACHES

Description

This comprehensive, full color hematopathology reference book emphasizes immunophenotpic features, cytogenetic studies, and diagnostic molecular aspects. Hematopathology begins with introductions to morphologic evaluation of the hematopoietic tissues and principles of immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular studies followed by chapters dedicated to different types of hematologic disorders. Each chapter starts with a basic overview of hematopathlogy followed by a comprehensive review of immunophenotypic, cytogenetic and molecular findings. The text is balanced with large numbers of full color images, graphs, charts, and tables to assist the reader in understanding these highly technical issues.

Readership

Pathologists, pathology fellows and residents, clinical laboratory pathologists, hematopathologists; hematologists/oncologists and hematology/oncology fellows.
