Molecular diagnostics in cytopathology : a practical handbook for the practicing pathologist / Sinchita Roy-Chowdhuri, Paul A. VanderLaan, John M. Stewart, Gilda da Cunha Santos, editors

The main focus of this book is to provide an overview of the principles of molecular diagnostics in context of cytopathology specimens together with a basic understanding and working knowledge of the available technology, platforms, and clinical applications. The initial sections of the book summarize the pre-analytic aspects of molecular testing, including cytology specimen preparation and handling, specimen selection and evaluation, and workflow algorithms as well as the analytic considerations for a variety of nucleic acid and protein-based testing. The remaining section focuses on disease specific molecular testing for various organ-based applications. Molecular Diagnostics in Cytopathology: A Practical Handbook for the Practicing Pathologist serves as a useful resource for cytopathologists, surgical pathologists, molecular technologists, and all others dealing with the evolving field of molecular cytopathology.
