Christopher J. Vandenbussche – författare

In this issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Christopher J. VandenBussche brings his considerable expertise to the topic of The Current and Future Impact of Cytopathology on Patient Care. Top experts discuss how minimally invasive procedures can provide critical information to guide patient management-for example, cytopathology specimens that allow for the timely and personalized treatment of patients, reducing the number of more costly and invasive procedures. This issue focuses on the recognition of critical cytomorphologic features, current and developing options for ancillary testing, and the potential use of cytopathology specimens in precision medicine (precision cytopathology).

For a concise, image-heavy guide to making accurate diagnoses from a range of cytopathology specimens, choose Differential Diagnoses in Surgical Pathology: Cytopathology, the latest addition to the renowned series. Compare similar entities—or those with many common attributes—and learn to spot the elements and details that can impact diagnosis. Like other volumes in the series the book presents material in a way that pathologists actually work, and is ideal as a quick-reference guide or for deep-dive research. Features side-by-side comparisons of all the core elements of a diagnosis, including location, shape, morphology, prognosis, and treatment.Covers common and rare disorders including conditions of the pulmonary and urinary tracts, as well as the kidney, liver, breast, and pancreas.Sample diagnoses are presented in a succinct bulleted format with accurate, high-quality images for a helpful visual context.Highlights clinical differences between lesions and the latest molecular alterations.Follows the same structural format as the other volumes in the series, which cover the Breast, Head & Neck, Genitourinary System, Genitourinary Tract, and Pulmonary PathologyEnrich Your eBook Reading ExperienceRead directly on your preferred device(s), such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.Easily convert to audiobook, powering your content with natural language text-to-speech.Multiple viewing options that enable you to scale images and text to any size without losing page clarity as well as responsive designs

This book will serve as a valuable quick reference for pathologists, cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, fellows and residents in the field.Genitourinary system cytopathology specimens and small biopsies are common specimens, with a growing number of renal fine needle aspirations and core biopsy procedures being performed each year.

Atlas of Cytopathology: A Pattern Based Approach is the latest installment in a unique new series designed to present diagnostic processes in a way similar to how clinicians actually review specimens. The book is image-rich, with scores of illustrations and tables, and filled with checklists, FAQs, and other tools to support fast, easy comprehension of material. Highlighted are common rather than obscure diseases and conditions, and “normal” cytology is presented first to give you a benchmark for subsequent discussions.   Includes a unique, special section on normal background cells, which can have a significant impact on diagnostic results.Notes include sample pathology reports and synthesize complicated topics.Specimens addressed span a range of types, including breast, kidney, urinary, pulmonary, and biliary tracts.Checklists at the beginning of each chapter and scattered throughout help you pinpoint key elements of each diagnostic process.Quizzes modeled after actual board questions, Frequently Asked Questions, and hints and hazards presenting real-life diagnostic encounters are also included. Enrich Your Ebook Reading ExperienceRead directly on your preferred device(s),such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.Easily convert to audiobook,powering your content with natural language text-to-speech.

Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is a comprehensive reference for interpreting body cavity fluid, respiratory, and gastrointestinal exfoliative cytopathology specimens. Generously illustrated and user-friendly, this Atlas guides the reader through common and unusual non-gynecologic and non-urinary exfoliative specimens to detect neoplastic and non-neoplastic disease.Over 500 high-resolution color images demonstrate the important cytomorphological features and pitfalls encountered in exfoliative specimens. The book provides detailed descriptions for entities encompassing variations of benign serous lesions, peritoneal, pericardial and pleural fluids, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchial brushings and washings, normal and induced sputum, gastric exfoliative specimens, and anal Pap tests. Additionally, selected images demonstrating histopathologic characteristics of the lesions for morphologic correlation will appeal to cytopathologists and surgical pathologists alike. Written by experts from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Atlas of Exfoliative Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is an invaluable resource for any pathologist looking to improve diagnostic skills and patient outcomes using various exfoliative techniques.Key Features:Contains over 500 outstanding color illustrationsIncludes cytologic variations of effusions, brushings, washings, and smears from non-gynecologic and non-urinary sites.Provides clear descriptions of entities and practical diagnostic guidance
