About this book
An in depth discussion of ancillary testing is provided, including the utilization of microbiologic culture, immunohistochemistry, and molecular techniques. Substantial emphasis is placed on molecular diagnostics necessary for optimization of personalized testing and the appropriate use of targeted therapies. The text represents a comprehensive resource for the state of the science of the cytologic diagnosis of respiratory lesions.
Reviews
“All figures and tables are accompanied by useful legends. A very useful feature is the group of appendixes, which serves as a condensed version of the book and can be used for a quick lookup of criteria. As a book that aims to standardize respiratory cytology reporting, its ultimate success lies in the acceptance by practicing cytopathologists. … this book is a well‐written and much‐needed guideline from the Papanicolaou Society to further push for standardization of cytopathology reporting.” (Keluo Yao, Doody's Book Reviews, May 10, 2019)
