The new edition of Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer Syndromes (DP3: Familial Cancers) is designed to help pathologists and oncologists distinguish familial tumors from their sporadic counterparts and advise patients regarding their possible risk of developing other tumors. The specific clinical, gross, microscopic, imaging, and molecular findings that form the backbone of DP3: Familial Cancers help physicians who diagnose and treat cancer accomplish this, ensuring that a possible syndromic association is not missed. Amid growing interest in hereditary/familial cancer syndromes within all pathology subspecialties, DP3: Familial Cancers is structured to present a significant number of its 180+ chapters by organ and organs involved by syndrome. The graphics-rich environment of DP3: Familial Cancers features thousands of images (including classic radiologic images to broaden the perspective), as well as informative, full-color medical illustrations and flowcharts. The book also contains hundreds of tables organized by body part and/or organ system that include selected existing genetic and familial cancers and identified associated genes, clinical features, recognized manifestations, and staging images/microscopic examples to bolster the information. The book addresses a wide range of inherited tumor syndromes to increase understanding of the gross and histologic features of syndromic-associated neoplasms as well as associated manifestations.

This comprehensive guide helps you make informed decisions for even your most complex and challenging cases, presenting a comprehensive differential diagnosis list and comparisons for every entity discussed. The 4th Edition brings you fully up to date with updated diagnostic techniques, new classifications, and new content throughout—perfect for quick reference at every microscope in the sign-out room.
Se trata de un texto/atlas que cubre de forma exhaustiva los fundamentos de la histopatología abordando los mecanismos subyacentes en los principales procesos patológicos y como éstas afectan a los distintos órganos y sistemas del cuerpo humano. Es importante destacar la magnífica iconografía que de forma magistral ilustra cada una de las diferentes patologías, y que se acompaña de pies explicativos claros y a la vez exhaustivos.La obra es altamente didáctica ya que procura que todo el texto que se incluye esté en formato tabla, esquema explicativo o recuadro, de forma que sea fácilmente localizable y lo más conciso posible. Así mismo, la estructura de capítulo corto con resumen al final en formato tabla, resulta muy adecuado para el estudiante que dispone de poco tiempo para estudiar y necesita acceso rápido a la información.Cuenta con la garantía de la marca Wheater's con una gran trayectoria en el campo de la anatomía patológica, en el que tradicionalmente los autores están muy comprometidos en reflejar los avances más recientes en este campo.El texto se organiza en dos grandes secciones: anatomía patológica básica y -anatomía patológica por sistemas y se ha hecho especial hincapié en recoger toda la nueva información disponible en el campo de la patología tumoral y en patología molecular.La nueva ed tiene acceso a SC.com en el que puede accederse a un banco de 300 preguntas de autoevaluación ( contenido en inglés).
This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of experience and training. Physicians should have the knowledge derived from morphological findings to identify the likelihood of a cancer patient having an additional underlying familial syndrome— and to decide if that patient should undergo molecular genetic evaluation. This volume is specifically designed to help pathologists, oncologists, and other physicians who diagnose and treat cancer to recognize syndromes and syndrome- associated neoplasms and advise patients and their families on the possibility of a familial syndrome and their risk of developing other tumors. Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer Syndromes, second edition, is an easy-to-use, one-stop reference for information on hereditary cancer syndromes, including differential diagnosis and management, that offers a templated, highly formatted design; concise, bulleted text; and superior color images throughout.
