Book Description

Series: Hodder Arnold Publication | Publication Date: June 15, 1998

The Sixth Edition of this monumental reference--now 50% larger than its most recent predecessor from 1989--has been substantially enlarged and fully revised. It features new chapters on tumor genetics, epidemiology, growth factors, invasion and metastasis, neurocarcinogens, cellular and molecular immunology, cerebrospinal fluid cytopathology, flow cytometry and DNA ploidy analysis, and immunohistochemistry. The neuroradiologic correlation has been emphasized in all diagnostic entities. Now in two volumes and with 400 full-color illustrations plus over 200 black-and-white photographs, this state-of-the-art encyclopedia of tumor pathology and biology also incorporates recent advances in understanding the genesis and progression of primary malignant tumors, in neuroimaging, and in tumor classifications. A must-have reference for neuropathology residents and practitioners, Russell and Rubinstein is a valuable addition to the libraries of neuroscientists, oncologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From reviews of the fifth edition:

"The book is extensive, authoritative, and up-to-date. It is well written and reads well. The illustrations are crisp and not excessive. References are comprehensive and up-to-date. This book will be one of the essential references providing information and guidance not only to the pathologist but to all those who are dealing with tumors of the nervous system. I congratulate Dr. Rubinstein for this monumental achievement beyond competition."--Journal of American Medical Association

"An outstanding monograph on a vast topic...First-class publishing...the book is a pleasure to handle."--The Lancet

"The standard work on the pathology of tumors of the nervous system...Succeeds in its joint aims of being a source of reference for clinical diagnosis...and research in neurooncology...An essential purchase for both neuropathology and neurology departments."--Journal of Pathology
