5.0 out of 5 stars Big book in a small package, November 3, 2003

This review is from: Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates (Hardcover)

As a practiciing pathologist, I have spent thousands of dollars on disappointing cytology books for two and a half decades, so my expectations in this area are low. However, I just got the second edition of this book, and I am absolutely delighted.

This is a small format book that fits well on the desk and in the hand, but it is crammed with great photomics and text that is short on academic BS and rich in diagnostic pearls. Frankly, I think this book blows DeMay and the other two-ton tomes out of the water.

5.0 out of 5 stars great review book!, March 28, 2006

By 

bk "bk" (hotdog) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates (Hardcover)

I got this in lieu of the baby deMay for study for path boards. I think it's pretty good as a solid review for cytology as it covers pertinent general features of major organ systems. Pictures are super clean and very clear (some with even arrows!!)

CONS: ok, here we go. Not every entity described has a coresponding picture. I hate that. If you go to the trouble writing about a certain tumor for half a page...put in a photo or something of it. This happens about 5% of the time in this book. The text is really concise and valuable. SO, don't expect an indepth discussion regarding various staining patterns or molecular etiologies. Kinda pricey...if it were $99 it be perfect. OR if it came with a picture CD/atlas with MORE pictures that be great.

PROS: the format is great. For a disease entity, you get brief text(like 100words), a clear box with a few morphology bullet points, and then a clean picture with description(and arrows!)...NEXT disease...It's a quick review no nonsense format and I like it alot. Has a mini Lab Management section in the back in the skinnys about regulations, billing, and personnel...pretty good actually.

Conclusion: I think this is great for review. Certainly the baby deMay and Atkinsons text are the gold standards for board review, especially since she used to be the board chair and supposedly used her cyto picts in the test. If you already have these books, then I guess dont bother unless you got book fund money to blow. Overall, I recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable guide to cytopathology, July 6, 2000

By 

"inactive" (Worcester, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates (Hardcover)

As a first-year pathology resident, I just started learning the complexities of cytopathology. I asked a number of pathologists to give me recommendations for a starter textbook. Cibas and Ducatman's book was mentioned more than once. Once I got a chance to use the book, I realized that it lived up to the hype! It is a readable introductory textbook that dispenses with obscure jargon and presents cytopathology in an understandable and organized manner. I highly recommend this text to any pathology resident, cytotechnologist, or other professional looking for a coherent introduction to cytopathology.
