Description
Written by recognized authorities in the field, this volume provides a comprehensive view of current practices, technologies, and concepts involved in the retrieval and analysis of prostate cancer cells. Prognostic Cytometry and Cytopathology of Prostate Cancer is based on a workshop held in Prouts Neck, Maine in October, 1987. This important new book describes current innovations and future trends in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities including the use of cytogenics as a diagnostic tool and the possibility of an NMR biopsy. Controversies regarding methodology, terminology, and interpretation are presented in balanced and insightful reviews. Oncologists, pathologists, urologists, radiologists and all others interested in the topic of prostate cancer will find Prognostic Cytometry and Cytopathology of Prostate Cancer to be a useful and valuable source of pertinent information.
