Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of the Breast, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book provides a detailed update on all aspects of fine-needle aspiration cytology of breast lesions. It will serve as an up-to-date reference and atlas on new entities in breast pathology, including classic benign and malignant lesions, in accordance with current classification schemes and staging protocols. Emphasis is placed on description of characteristic diagnostic features as well as common cytological pitfalls. Correlation of cytology with histology is achieved through cyto-histological illustrations, enabling readers to gain a good understanding of the morphologic features of various lesions. Core-needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration cytology are compared in depth, with attention to their relative strengths and weaknesses and indications. In addition, the impact of molecular classification of breast cancers on cytologic diagnosis is explored, and the use of molecular techniques and artificial intelligence in diagnostic cytology is discussed.
