This expert volume in the Diagnostic Pathology series is an
excellent point-of-care resource for practitioners at all levels of
experience and training. Physicians should have the knowledge
derived from morphological findings to identify the likelihood of a
cancer patient having an additional underlying familial syndrome-
and to decide if that patient should undergo molecular genetic
evaluation. This volume is specifically designed to help
pathologists, oncologists, and other physicians who diagnose and
treat cancer to recognize syndromes and syndrome- associated
neoplasms and advise patients and their families on the possibility
of a familial syndrome and their risk of developing other tumors.
Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer Syndromes, second edition, is
an easy-to-use, one-stop reference for information on hereditary
cancer syndromes, including differential diagnosis and management,
that offers a templated, highly formatted design; concise, bulleted

information necessary to determine whether a neoplasm typically
encountered in daily practice is sporadic or related to a familial
cancer syndrome Features a revised structure to keep you up to
date: Part I includes more than 80 detailed chapters describing
diagnoses associated with familial cancer syndromes; Part II
contains more than 70 chapters with detailed descriptions of major
syndromes (cross-referenced with diagnoses); and Part III features
a molecular factors index that includes a complete description of
each known gene associated with a familial cancer syndrome Contains
updated chapters with newly classified GI, neurology, multiple
