Description and Table of Contents
Description
This prostate biopsy book is aimed at practising pathologists. The text and collection of tables and photomicrographs are provided to continue efforts to recognize, understand and accurately interpret the light-microscopic findings in difficult prostate biopsy specimens. This book is intended as a practical aid to complement textbooks of urological pathology or other sources of information in the area.
