Description:
Expert contributors from North American and Europe bring an international perspective to the evolving practice of cytopathology in a molecular age. It bridges the gap between cytomorphology, molecular biology, and molecular technologies in the diagnostic cytology service.
With conventional cytology continuing to intersect with new technologies based on the link between cervical cancer and HPV, this is a critical and timely reference. Dr. Meisels and his coauthors and contributors build on their decades of experience to provide heavily illustrated chapters devoted to:
- Cytomorphology of infection and benign changes
- Squamous intraepithelial lesions
- Glandular lesions
- Hormonal cytology
- Rare lesions of the uterus
Most chapters offer practical, working understandings of new and emerging approaches to diagnosis and prevention: prevention of uterine cancers, epidemiology, human papillomaviruses, cervical carcinogenesis, biomarkers for screening, HPV vaccines, LBC imagers and screeners, and technical considerations for molecular and serologic diagnosis.
