Atlas of Gynecologic Cytopathology: with Histopathologic Correlations
About this ebook
The Atlas features nearly 500 carefully selected high-resolution color images detailing important aspects of gynecologic tract disease. Additionally, the bookís images of the histopathology and gross characteristics of lesions provide morphologic correlations that will be relevant to cytopathologists and surgical pathologists alike. To provide a broader, more enriching perspective, the Atlas features a special chapter on the colposcopic characteristics of cervical lesions to provide a differential diagnosis through the eyes of an experienced gynecologist. It also reviews the updated management guidelines of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), providing a multidisciplinary approach to enhance the readerís understanding of how cytopathology, histopathology, and colposcopic information together create a powerful tool for the prevention and early detection of cervical dysplasia and cancer.
