"Molecular Cytopathology is a great tool for anyone involved with FNA specimens. From procurement to final diagnosis the literature explains techniques and diagnostic tools for a well-defined analysis. I enjoyed the book and will use it in my department to educate staff and residents and for improved FNA outcome." (Rachel Jacobs, The ASC Bulletin, Vol. 54 (5), September, 2017)
