Description
Springer Molecular Pathology In Clinical Practice 2006 Edition by Debra G. B. Leonard Adam Bagg Angela M. Caliendo
This authoritative textbook embodies the current standard in molecular testing for practicing pathologists and residents and fellows in training. The text is organized into eight sections: genetics inherited cancers infectious disease neoplastic hematopathology solid tumors HLA typing identity testing and laboratory management. Discussion of each diagnostic test includes its clinical significance available assays quality control and lab issues interpretation and reasons for testing. Coverage extends to HIV hepatitis developmental disorders bioterrorism warfare organisms lymphomas breast cancer and melanoma forensics parentage and much more. Includes 189 illustrations 45 in full-color. This textbook is a classic in the making and a must-have reference.
