Advances in molecular and genetics-based diagnostics are driving an increased interest in cytopathology, as cytological specimens are the ideal substrate for this new technology. Although there are a handful of comprehensive, standard texts on the market, there is a need for portable, more concise books for easy reference. Thus, the inception of the Essentials in Cytopathology series is intended to fill the gap in the market. This series will fulfill the need for an easy-to-use and authoritative synopsis of site-specific topics in cytopathology. The discussions will take into account the need for increased emphasis on differential diagnoses, the how-to's on screening, cytology/hitology correlation, what the criteria are, as well as issues involved with patient interaction, such as on-site evaluation. Discussions will address safety issues as well as diagnostic pitfalls. Each volume will be site-specific and edited by leading specialists in the field. These guide books fit into the lab coat pocket, ideal for portability and quick reference. Each volume will be heavily illustrated with a 125-image full color art program, while the text will follow a user-friendly outline format. A must-have for every pathologist, cytopathologist, fellow and trainee. The inaugural volume of the Series will be the Thyroid, edited by Drs. Clark and Faquin, leaders in the field of thyroid cytopathology.

Of main interest to cytopathologists, pathologists, but also useful for endocrinologists." (Zvi Laron, Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 3 (2), December, 2005)

Excellent series!,

I am a cytology fellow and have the 5 books available in this series. They are all excellent; I highly recommend them. Concise, great images, to the point and practical. The thyroid book has excellent diagnostic algorithms and discussion of differential diagnoses.

This review is from: Thyroid Cytopathology (Essentials in Cytopathology) (Paperback)
This is a nice little monograph....The photographs are quite good, and the text is clear. She has a few very useful algorithms. Fairly expensive for just thyroid cytopath book (for ~$150 you can get a good general cytopath text like Atkinson or Renshaw), but the quality is good.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excelent book!!,
