The human urinary bladder is subject to a unique andextraordinarily diverse array of congenital, inflammatory,metaplastic, and neoplastic abnormalities. This book providescontemporary, comprehensive, and evidence-based practiceinformation for pathologists, urologists, oncologists, and othermedical professionals.
In Bladder Pathology, a full spectrum of pathologicconditions that afflict the bladder and urothelium are describedand lavishly illustrated. With its emphasis on diagnostic criteriaand differential diagnoses, this book is of particular value topracticing pathologists--assisting in the pathologist'srecognition, understanding, and accurate interpretation of thelight microscopic findings in bladder specimens.
Features and benefits of this new volume include:
* 1,741 high-quality, color illustrations and 112 tables toillustrate the wide range of pathologic and clinical features inthe urinary tract
* An evidence-based approach to diagnosis and patientmanagement for infectious, nonneoplastic, and
neoplastic conditions
* Recent advances in the molecular genetics of the urinarybladder with discussion of their current or
potential impact on diagnosis and personalized patient care
* With emphasis on the scientific validation of currentdiagnostic methods and their direct application in clinicalpractice, Bladder Pathology is a cutting-edge resource thatnot only offers comprehensive research and clinicalinformation for practicing surgical pathologists, urologists,oncologists, and their clinical colleagues, but also captures agenuine sense of excitement about recent advances in this vital,ever-evolving field.
