Preface to the Second Edition Since publication of the first
edition, continuing developments in histopathology have motivated
the inclusion of four new chapters: cytology, immunohistology,
quality control and assessment, and the autopsy. The increasing use
of cytology in clinical practice and advances in techniques and
diagnostic interpretation justify the devotion of more space than
formerly to this important topic. Immunohistology now merits a
separate chapter because it has a status beyond that of being just
another "special stain" and there are certain aspects of technique
and interpretation that are peculiar to it. Quality control and
assessment in histopathology are very topical and important now
that greater attention is being paid to cost effectiveness and the
auditing of many aspects of clinical practice. The autopsy is an
integral part of the professional life of a histopathologist and,
though it lacks the immediate clinical impact of the biopsy
diagnosis, it nevertheless constitutes an important activity in all
hospitals; without detailing dissection techniques I have provided
some information and guidance about the autopsy which I believe
will be useful to trainees and of interest to others. The remainder
of the book has been thoroughly revised and updated, and
illustrations and tables added where experience has shown that the
text is insufficient. Sheffield, October 1986 J. C. E. Underwood
Preface to the First Edition This book is primarily addressed to
the needs of the trainee histopathologist.
