Histopathology: Methods and Protocols provides a comprehensive guide to the current issues in histopathology. With chapters on organ-based approaches with specific protocols for morphologic, molecular examination and pathological observations governing the therapeutic management of the diseases. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Histopathology: Methods and Protocols seeks to be a useful reference for pathologists, pathology residents and fellows as well as to the clinicians and scientists.

Recenzje

From the book reviews:

"This is a compendium of methods and protocols in histopathology. ... this book would be of interest to histotechnologists, anatomical pathologists (in training or practice), pathologist assistants or anyone interested in the diagnostic process of anatomical pathology. ... This is a very useful book to standardize handling of various tissues in an anatomical pathology service." (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2014)
