Best: Molecular Genetics and Personalized Medicine
By Hunter
Best
2012 (1st
ed), 253 pages, 39 illus, $189 list
Molecular Genetics and
Personalized Medicine highlights developments that have been made in the field
of molecular genetics and how they have been applied clinically. It will
serve as a useful reference for physicians hoping to better understand the role
of molecular medicine in clinical practice. In addition, it should also prove
to be an invaluable resource for the basic scientist that wants to better
understand how advances in the laboratory are being moved from the bench to the
bedside. All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include
the most up to date medical information. The authors simplify complex genetic concepts
and focus on practical patient related issues. The book will be of great value
to pathologists, hematologists/oncologists, clinical geneticists, high-risk
obstetricians, general practitioners, and physicians in all other medical
specialties who utilize genetic testing to direct therapy.

Cagle: Molecular Pathology of Lung Cancer
By Philip Cagle
2012 (1st ed), 281 pages, 46
illus, $189 list
As with other books in the
Molecular Pathology Library Series, Molecular Pathology of Lung Cancer bridges
the gap between the molecular specialist and the clinical practitioner,
including the surgical pathologist who now has a key role in decisions
regarding molecular targeted therapy for lung cancer. Molecular Pathology of
Lung Cancer provides the latest information and current insights into the
molecular basis for lung cancer, including precursor and preinvasive lesions,
molecular diagnosis, molecular targeted therapy, molecular prognosis, molecular
radiology and related fields for lung cancer generally and for the specific
cell types. As many fundamental concepts about lung cancer have undergone
revision in only the past few years, this book will likely be the first to
comprehensively cover the new molecular pathology of lung cancer. It provides a
foundation in this field for pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation
oncologists, thoracic surgeons, thoracic radiologists and their trainees,
physician assistants, and nursing staff.
Chen: Atlas of Genetic Diagnosis and Counseling

clinical features of patients at different ages, patients with varying degrees
of severity, and the optimal diagnostic strategies. The disorders cited are
supplemented by case histories and diagnostic confirmation by cytogenetics,
biochemical, and molecular techniques, when available. The Atlas of Genetic
Diagnosis and Counseling will help all physicians to understand and recognize
genetic diseases and malformation syndromes and better evaluate, counsel, and
manage affected patients. In this new edition, 47 additional genetic disorders
are added, as well as extensive updates made to the previous disorders. New
illustrations, as previous edition, will be supplemented by case and family
history, clinical features, and laboratory data, especially molecular

diagnostic considerations. When deemed appropriate, images of
immunohistochemical and special stains are included. This image-intensive
textbook also includes numerous Pap smear images and cytologic-histologic
correlations. In addition to coverage of pathology of the organs of the female

Intraoperative Consultation in Surgical Pathology
By
Mahendra Ranchod
2011 (1st
ed), 356 pages, $137 list
Although
frozen section diagnosis has been an integral part of surgical pathology for
decades, this is the first textbook that offers a comprehensive
clinicopathologic approach to the challenges of intraoperative consultation.
Intraoperative diagnosis is challenging because of time constraints, sampling
limitations, and the inability to perform a wide range of ancillary tests.
Intraoperative Consultation in Surgical Pathology emphasizes the importance of
clinical information, highlights the value of close collaboration with
surgeons, and provides clear guidelines for the best way to examine specimens
intraoperatively. Pathologists are then able to minimize error and diagnose
with greater confidence. Most chapters in this book are co-authored by surgeons
to ensure that their interests are represented. Essential reading for
practising surgical pathologists, residents and fellows in pathology, this book
will also be of value to fellows and surgeons in various surgical specialties who
request intraoperative consultation.

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 diagnosis and staging of disease,
determination of prognosis, treatment 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.

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.

Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Biopsy: An Illustrated guide to Interpretation
By Amy
Noffsinger
2011 (1st
ed), 350 pages, 250 illus, $139 list
Gastrointestinal
Endoscopic Biopsy: An Illustrated Guide to Interpretation provides a
ready reference that focuses exclusively on interpretation of gastrointestinal
endoscopic biopsies. Rather than being arranged according to site of disease,
this work is uniquely arranged according to major histopathologic finding,
which allows the reader to compare gastrointestinal diseases with similar
histologic patterns of injury and focus on differential diagnosis. The book contains
numerous illustrative photographs allowing comparison of histologic subtleties
between different disease entities. The text addresses primarily the
microscopic findings important in differential diagnosis as well as clinical
features important in distinguishing between diseases. As a practical, easy to
use atlas for day to day biopsy interpretation, Gastrointestinal
Endoscopic Biopsy: An Illustrated Guide to Interpretation will be of great
value to all general pathologists, pathology residents and fellows.

Difficult Diagnoses in Breast Pathology
By Juan
Palazzo
2011 (1st
ed), 264 pages, $140 list
Difficult
Diagnoses in Breast Pathology" will have a special focus on the difficult
diagnostic problems in breast disease for the surgical pathologist: needle core
biopsy interpretation, diagnosis of precursor lesions and early stage disease,
recognition of neoplastic mimics and other misleading variants, and other particularly
difficult areas including appropriate use of newer immunohistochemical markers,
where appropriate. Prognostic questions and early staging are of special
importance in the pathologist's collaboration with oncology clinicians and,
increasingly, in informing patients and participating in ongoing management
assessment. Throughout, the emphasis will be on a visual presentation with
high-quality images on the more difficult problems and questions that the
pathologist is likely to have in evaluation of breast disease. In this book,
each chapter is authored by recognized expert in the area. It features:
hundreds of high-quality images; tables and key points in each chapter that
summarize the most important findings; and offers coverage based on addressing in
detail the real-world diagnostic problems the pathologist will face in daily
practice.
