Murphy:
Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Melanoma By Michael Murphy 2011 (1st ed), 336 pages, 29 illlus, $219 list This book describes both the technologies used in the discovery
of melanoma biomarkers and the clinical application of these biomarkers for

planning, monitoring of response to therapy, identification of novel
therapeutic targets and drug development. A broad range of biomarkers
(DNA/chromosomal, mRNA, microRNA, mitochondrial
DNA, epigenetic and protein) is outlined. As therapies for melanoma become
increasingly more target specific, the identification, validation and use of
biomarkers will invariably play a greater role in the management of patients
with this disease. Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers and Therapeutic
Targets in Melanoma is an essential resource for oncologists,
dermatologists, dermatopathologists, general pathologists with an interest in melanoma, and
melanoma researchers. |

Murphy:
Molecular Diagnostics in Dermatology and Dermatopathology
By Michael Murphy 2011 (1st ed),
491 pages, $239 list "Molecular
Diagnostics in Dermatology and Dermatopathology"
presents the basics of molecular biology and molecular diagnostic methods
most commonly used in the clinical laboratory, with an emphasis on the
concepts and testing most relevant to dermatological diseases. Topics include
the integration of newer diagnostic and prognostic techniques with
'traditional' histologic approaches, and
discussions of regulatory, ethical, legal, economic issues and 'newer'
technologies. This important diagnostic tool outlines the clinically relevant
uses (i.e.; diagnostic, staging and/or prognostic) applications of these
techniques in the field of dermatology. Molecular studies that investigate
the pathogenesis of skin diseases will be excluded, unless they also have a
direct diagnostic utility. The book will be of interest to practicing pathologists,
dermatology and pathology residents, dermatologists, and dermatopathologists. |

Smoller: Epidermal Cell Tumors: The Basics By Bruce Smoller 2010 (1st ed), 250 pages, $60 list Epidermal Cell Tumors: The Basics will serve as an effective and efficient handbook for the student of dermatopathology, and as a practical bench reference for the practicing diagnostician who desires rapid access to criteria that are useful in differentiating histologically similar entities. The reader will be able to focus upon a single histologic observation, i.e., inflammatory conditions without epidermal changes, and use this as a starting point from which to build a differential diagnosis based upon pattern recognition. As each entity is addressed, there will be a concise discussion of the basic clinical findings and epidemiologic associations. This will be followed by a histologic description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate between the entity under discussion and similar ones. Any immunologic studies that might augment the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity will be discussed. The chapters are thematically based and consist of essential bullet points arranged in organized outlines allowing for easy access and direct comparison between entities. |

existing knowledge about Merkel cell carcinoma and provides a much-needed
perspective on future opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic advances.
It offers practical how to advice on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and
also insight into how to establish a multidisciplinary Merkel cell carcinoma
clinic. In addition, it will serve as a unique resource for trainees (medical
students, residents and fellows) as well as for Merkel cell carcinoma
patients and their advocates and caregivers. |
