Recenzje

"This is a great book for pathologists who are looking for a comprehensive review of genomic pathology. The book discusses in detail the emerging genomic modalities, addresses practical issues related to the implementation of genomic testing, and gives a full account of the use of genomic testing in various diseases. The authors do a good job of balancing the generally accepted understanding of genomic pathology and its interpretation based on years of experience in the field. Overall, I highly recommend this book." (Grace Wang, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2019)

​This book provides the most up-to-date comprehensive discussion of established and emerging genomic technologies and their clinical implementation in molecular diagnostics.  As in its first edition, the book places significant emphasis on implementation roadmaps for various clinical assays including single gene, gene panel, transcriptome sequencing, circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA sequencing, whole exome, and whole genome assays. Detailed guidance on the central role of the pathologist in the interpretation, reporting, and clinical integration of genomic tests is provided. Expert opinions to help navigate growing compliance, reimbursement, legal and ethical issues are shared in dedicated chapters.

Genomic Applications in Pathology provides a comprehensive resource for practicing molecular pathologists, general and sub-specialized practicing anatomic and clinical pathologists, as well as pathology trainees. The wider target audience continues to include oncologists, geneticists, and other medical and surgical clinicians.
