Cytopathology Review Guide

This latest edition continues to serve as a litmus test for both cytotechnology generalist and specialist Board examinations. With more than 1,200 self-study questions and 360 images – now at nearly three times the size of those in the previous edition and at higher resolution – the volume is sure to serve as an invaluable and comprehensive self-study reference for pathologists, pathology residents, cytotechnologists, and cytopathologists in training. Users of the new edition will note a new feature designed to reflect the computerized testing format of Board examinations. Self-study questions are now presented in a randomized organization to reflect real-world testing. Content has been significantly updated and enhanced to incorporate key areas and issues that comprise the current scope of practice. A new chapter reflects a new paradigm for the management of women with abnormal cervical cancer screening tests, incorporating the latest American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) guidelines for triage and testing. Sections on molecular techniques and liquid-based cytology have been greatly enhanced with all-new diagnostic imagery to reflect the ways in which these adjunctive technologies are improving the specificity of cytopathologic diagnoses.

All other chapters have been completely revised and updated. A new consolidated Reference section, including the most current references in the field, brings even more value to make this indispensable resource.

Purchasers of this new edition will also receive access to the online version, which includes author updates and postings, discussion forums, e-notes and bookmarking features, and full-text searching.
