Molecular Pathology of Lung Diseases, the first volume in the Molecular Pathology Library Series under the series editorship of Philip T. Cagle, MD provides a bridge between clinical pulmonary pathology and basic molecular science. It is designed to provide a practical disease-based overview that will be useful to pathologists, pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons and other health care providers interested in lung disease.The first two sections of the volume provide the reader with general concepts, terminology and procedures in molecular pathology. The remainder of the volume is subdivided into neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung diseases with detailed chapters covering the current molecular pathology of specific diseases.

Molecular Pathology of Lung Diseases, the first volume in the Molecular Pathology Library Series under the series editorship of Philip T.

It helps surgical and clinical pathologist solve problem cases in lung and pleura tumor pathology as well as in other fields of pulmonary/pleura pathology such as interstitial lung disease, rare tumors, metabolic diseases, infectious pneumonias, pneumoconiosis, drug induced lung diseases, developmental and pediatric pulmonary pathology.

This well-illustrated book covers the full range of lung and pleural diseases from the pathologic standpoint. It has been updated from the first edition by including the most recent molecular data for the different lung diseases, tumor as well as non-tumor ones. New diagnostic tests are included, new aspects for the understanding of diseases have been added. Both diseases of adults and pediatric lung diseases are presented. The chapter on lung development has been expanded due to the many new findings being reported since the first edition.The book will serve as an excellent guide to the diagnosis of these diseases, but in addition it explains the disease mechanisms and etiology. Genetics and molecular biology are also discussed whenever necessary for a full understanding. The author is an internationally recognized expert who runs courses on lung and pleural pathology attended by participants from all over the world. In compiling this book, he has drawn on more than 30 years’ experience in the field.
