Covers morphologic and phenotypic features used in diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis
Contains more than 600 color than color illustrations depicting morphology, immunophenotype, chromosomal and genetic characteristics of hematopoietic tumors
Discusses morphologic, immunophenotypic, chromosomal and molecular data, with numerous tables summarizing the phenotypic profiles of the most common hematologic tumors
Summary
The high quality illustrations and straightforward explanations in this book make it an essential guide to diagnosis and differential diagnosis based on pattern recognition. The author takes a multimethodologic approach based on the most current classifications and using the most appropriate methodologic parameters. The book contains new and significantly updated sections on differential diagnosis on morphology, chromosomal and genetic changes, and localization. It is an invaluable reference for practicing hematopathologists, general pathologists, hematologists, oncologists, and technologists involved in flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and hematology.
