Immunohistology and Electron Microscopy of Anaplastic and Pleomorphic Tumors

This book describes in detail the use of immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy in the examination and study of a wide range of undifferentiated tumors.

Such tumors are described with clinical case examples and the plentiful illustrations serve as a guide to recognition and diagnosis.

The organization of the book reflects the diagnostic process, with algorithms and diagnostic panels of antibodies to help the pathologist elucidate the nature of the neoplasm.

Coverage ranges from basic aspects of immunohistochemistry and diagnostic electron microscopy to new ways of predicting tumour behavior and prognosis, and the use of RNA and DNA probes.

Written by internationally recognized experts, and based on cases from their own practise, this will be an essential reference for pathologists, and will also interest oncologists, surgeons and other clinicians and scientists involved in cancer biology and diagnosis.
