Summary:

This Prostate Cancer volume of the Advances in Surgical Pathology series is a concise, updated review of the pathological characteristics of prostate cancer. It emphasizes histologic correlation, the clinical management, and the treatment of prostate cancer. The fundamental issues surrounding prostate cancer, including its epidemiology, basic diagnostic features, differential diagnoses, preneoplastic conditions, diagnostic pitfalls, and prognostic factors, are thoroughly addressed. It also includes current knowledge regarding the diagnostic immunohistochemistry and molecular alteration of prostate cancer carcinogenesis and their impact on patient care.

Focuses on recent advancements in knowledge, technical procedures, application, and integration as part of current trends in pathology and medicine

Emphasizes the new uses of advances within the context of the changing landscape of pathology practice in the 21st century

Provides information on how the pathologist can apply new knowledge as part of a subspecialty multidisciplinary team and for purposes of personalized patient therapy

Emphasizes molecular testing as well as targeted therapies

Provides a resource for the timely updates in knowledge that are necessary for daily practice, for current credentialing, and for the self-assessment modules for recertification (MOC)

Includes over 300 full-color images
