Inhaltsangabe

This book is designed as a diagnostic guide, covering many common and rare childhood tumours. The figures have been judiciously chosen to illustrate key features of relevant histology. Features of gross specimens and illustrative clinical data are often highlighted. There is a short but up-to-date account of the literature.
Conventional histology is increasingly a facet in the diagnostic work-up of many childhood tumours, and this theme is conveyed throughout. Histology is widely presented, often in conjunction with modern methodology, to assist prognostication.
So far as possible, references are current and meant as a staging post for further reading. Thus the book is not a destination, but a starting point.
It will be an invaluable bench manual for the practising pathologist, and a study guide for the trainee.

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This atlas is a practical approach to problems commonly encountered in paediatric tumour diagnosis. It comprehensively covers a wide range of common and unusual entities. Over 300 full-colour illustrations are complemented by a text which is pragmatic and succinct. References have been carefully selected to reflect current thought and well-written reviews. New treatment strategies have led to considerable improvement in the salvage rate and prognosis in childhood neoplasia. Histological diagnosis in this area is fraught with problems and the demand invariably has been for a prompt and accurate histological reporting. The problems although wide-ranging, are particularly manifest in the area of the small round-cell tumours which constitute an important proportion of paediatric cancers. This atlas will be invaluable as a bench manual for the practising pathologist and as a study aid for the trainee. It will also be of interest to all oncologists and paediatricians.
