Cytology refers to a branch of pathology that deals with making
diagnoses of diseases and conditions through the examination of
tissue samples from the body (MedicineNet.com). This new edition
has been fully revised to provide trainees and clinicians with the
latest advances in the field of cytology. Divided into four
sections, each further sub-divided into multiple chapters, the book
covers general cytology and the characteristics of cells and
tissues, exfoliative cytology (an alternative to biopsy),
laboratory techniques, and fine needle aspiration cytology. The
molecular pathology and immunocytochemistry of different tumours
are explained in depth. Up to date World Health Organisation (WHO)
and International Academy of Cytology classifications are also
included. The third edition of this comprehensive reference is
highly illustrated with tables, boxes, diagrams and
microphotographs. The book includes access to videos demonstrating
cytologic techniques. The previous edition (9789352701209)
published in 2017.
Cytology refers to a branch of pathology that deals with making
diagnoses of diseases and conditions through the examination of
tissue samples from the body (MedicineNet.com). Immunocytochemistry
is a laboratory method that uses antibodies to check for certain
antigens (markers) in a sample of cells. The antibodies are usually
linked to an enzyme or a fluorescent dye. After the antibodies bind
to the antigen in the cell sample, the enzyme or dye is activated,
and the antigen can then be seen under a microscope.
Immunocytochemistry is used to help diagnose diseases, such as
cancer. It may also be used to help tell the difference between
different types of cancer (National Cancer Institute). This book is
a comprehensive guide to the techniques and application of
immunocytochemistry in cytology. Divided into two parts, the first
section discusses basic principles and preparation, techniques and
quality control, and automated immune staining. Section Two covers
diagnostic applications of immunocytochemistry for many different
types of tumour. The text is highly illustrated with
microphotographs, tables and boxes to assist learning and
interpretation of findings for accurate diagnosis. Key points
