The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical/Vaginal Cytologic Diagnoses has greatly simplified and standardized the nomenclature for reporting the spectrum of pathologic as well as non-pathologic conditions of the cervix and vagina. The pictures are helpful, although it would have helped more if there are more than one picture for every condition to show the spectrum of any said condition. This would help guide the cytotechnologists/cytopathologists in naming, reporting the condition. What is exemplary in the system is its integration of the reporting of the adequacy of the specimen. This has a lot of impact in the clinical corelation as well as alerting the physicians of the possible limitations of the diagnosis. All in all, it is a well made system.

Much used and needed book if you are going into the cytology field. Clear, concise, in a 1lb book, what more can students ask for?

This small handbook is a great start for a new cytotech to have closeby. Affordable,concise in text with classic cytology examples in clear photographs. A great basic companion.

This guide book, describing revised Bethesda system, sould be beside pathologists and cytopathologists. Nice color photos are quite informative.

I bought this book and i like it very much. Every resident(path) should have it.The

shipment was very fast and it was nicely packed.

I am fully satisfied of my purchase. It couldn't have been better. In fact, the book was delivered to me well before the provisional date initially mentioned. The packaging was done professionally. I fully recommend Amazon.com to every people in doubt. I bought a new book and it seemed to me as if it has just been delivered by the publisher. Thank you Amazon.com. A bientot.

If you have many years of Cytology practice or you are just studying now the ABCs of this science, here is a "must have" book. Extemely useful in any laboratory, it proves to be useful and easy to read, but most importantly, a friendly and resourceful guide in cervical cytology. This book is very useful for everyday signing out, providing clear criteria on how to safely classify and report findings in cervical cytology. The written reporting categories are doubled by very useful pictures and references. Dr.C.Stefanovici, MD

I found the cheapest current edition of this text. Overall the book was in good condition but appeared alittle used. There were some scuffs, stains and a large fold on the back cover. I am guessing that is why this book was discounted. Just wish it would have been mentioned.
