Breast Pathology, Third Edition, offers surgical pathologists authoritative advice on the selection and optimal application of appropriate diagnostic techniques when reporting on breast specimens. It was written with relevant practicality in mind. In order to cover every aspect of benign and malignant lesions of the breast, Dr. David J. Dabbs and a group of highly regarded pathologists from around the world combine genomic and molecular data with gross and microscopic findings, radiologic and laboratory diagnosis, theranostics, and immunohistochemistry. This helps you reduce diagnostic variation and error in the sign-out room.
Updates you on the most recent developments, such as new surgical methods, multigene prognostic tests that are more commonly utilized, and treatment-determining assays, such as the use of PD-L1 as an immunotherapy biomarker for triple-negative breast cancer.
incorporates the most recent molecular diagnostic and breast pathology classifications.
Each topical chapter is organized around pertinent clinical presentation, gross and microscopic pathologic findings, and molecular and diagnostic immunohistochemistry.
with particular reference to the illness entities in each chapter, maps immunohistochemistry for each entity according to diagnostic, theranostic, and genomic applications.
explains in depth how to handle breast specimens to ensure correct collection and processing for the best possible molecular and immunohistochemical results.
Each chapter begins with a handy quick reference that covers all pertinent diagnostic, theranostic, and genetic information for quick retrieval.
contains almost 2,000 pathological images in full color, each clearly illustrating a disease’s clinical, radiological, molecular, immunohistochemical, and theranostic characteristics.
contains changes to the biomarker guidelines all through.
reflects revisions to the ASCO/CAP interpretation guidelines for HER2 tests and new tumor staging information in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th Edition.
