Bladder Pathology (PDF)

The human urinary bladder is subject to a unique and
extraordinarily diverse array of congenital, inflammatory,
metaplastic, and neoplastic abnormalities. This book provides
contemporary, comprehensive, and evidence-based practice
information for pathologists, urologists, oncologists, and other
medical professionals.

In Bladder Pathology, a full spectrum of pathologic
conditions that afflict the bladder and urothelium are described
and lavishly illustrated. With its emphasis on diagnostic criteria
and differential diagnoses, this book is of particular value to
practicing pathologists--assisting in the pathologist's
recognition, understanding, and accurate interpretation of the
light microscopic findings in bladder specimens.

Features and benefits of this new volume include:

* 1,741 high-quality, color illustrations and 112 tables to
illustrate the wide range of pathologic and clinical features in
the urinary tract

* An evidence-based approach to diagnosis and patient
management for infectious, nonneoplastic, and

neoplastic conditions

* Recent advances in the molecular genetics of the urinary
bladder with discussion of their current or

potential impact on diagnosis and personalized patient care

* With emphasis on the scientific validation of current
diagnostic methods and their direct application in clinical
practice, Bladder Pathology is a cutting-edge resource that
not only offers comprehensive research and clinical
information for practicing surgical pathologists, urologists,
oncologists, and their clinical colleagues, but also captures a
genuine sense of excitement about recent advances in this vital,
ever-evolving field.
