This new edition differs from the preceding ones in that there has been extensive revision of most chapters. Recent advances in research gained by immunohistochemical, molecular biological, and cytogenetic methods are included, as far as they are applicable for daily diagnostic work. The chapter on neoplasms, in particular, has been greatly expanded in accordance with the new WHO International Histological Classification of genital tract tumors, covering all pertinent differential diagnostic aspects. The chapter on malignant lymphomas and hematopoetic neoplasms involving the endometrium is a...

The new edition of this atlas integrates all significant advances made in the past 15 years in molecular pathology, tumor virology, and genetics of cervical cancer. It emphasizes the importance of these advances in facilitating its pathological diagnosis and in op- mizing clinical management and prognosis. A new chapter on immunohistochemistry has been added, which includes refined detection methods, e. g., the overexpression of INK4a p16 as a molecular marker in the early differential diagnosis of premalignant - sions. The section on etiology and pathogenesis in human papillomavirus-induced...

Reevaluation of tumor classification, differential diagnosis and differential therapy based on modern knowledge. Revision of all chapters to incorporate new facts based on recent discoveries.

Der Atlas gibt einen umfassenden berblick ber den diagnostischen Aussagewert der Phasenkontrastmikroskopie f r die gyn kologische Sprechstundenzytologie am Frischpr parat. Nach einer Einf hrung in die Anwendungsbereiche der gyn kologischen Vitalzytologie verhelfen technische Erl uterungen zur pr zisen Handhabung der Methode und des Phasenkontrastmikroskops. Der anschlie ende Textteil vermittelt eine straff gegliederte Zusammenfassung der wesentlichen Erkennungsmerkmale der Einzelzellen und des Gesamtzellbildes unter physiologischer hormoneller Stimulation und deren endogen oder iatrogen...

Although the purpose and scope of this monograph remain unchanged, I have been obliged to revise and rewrite many sections to keep pace with the recent growth in knowledge of endometrial pathology and physiology. New knowledge emanates from every quarter, engendered by improved meth ods of study in virtually every subspecialty, by exemplary cooperation between disciplines, and especially by the exchange of ideas internationally. On the other hand, the catalogue of diseases is everchanging. Some, once common, become rare or even disappear. Others suddenly appear, unique and previously unknown....

In gynecological practice, techniques of examination are being supple mented more and more by cytodiagnosis. Thus it has become necessary to acquaint the gynecologist of the possibilities, use and Iimits of cyto diagnosis. Such is the purpose of the book "Gynakologische Cytologie" (Stall, Jaeger, Dallenbach, Springer-Verlag 1968). In general, the practicing gynecologist will merely make the vaginal, ecto-and endocervical smears and leave the diagnosis of them to a cyto logical laboratory. Only in rare cases will a trained and experienced specialist set up his own cytologicallaboratory for...

This hands-on reference provides guidance for the precise diagnoses of physiological and pathological changes to the endometrium. The updated edition has been expanded, and includes high quality illustrations, perfect for the practicing pathologist.
