This atlas helps reproductive medicine experts to correctly interpret histological findings and aims for standardization of testicular biopsy analysis and procedures. Includes extensive description of testicular neoplasms and their immunohistochemistry.
The aim of this atlas is twofold:- 1. help experts in the area of reproductive medicine with correct interpretation of histological findings. 2. Standardization of testicular biopsy analysis/procedures. This book will present histological illustrative material from paraffin and semi-thin sections of the human testis. The afore-mentioned sections are routinely used in the assessment of testicular morphology. The early detection of cancer in situ is based on the careful morphological investigation of the biopsy and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Therefore, this atlas will contain a detailed description of IHC methods focusing on the detection of early malignant changes. In addition, extensive descriptions will be provided concerning testicular neoplasms and their IHC. Modern molecular biological methods such as in situ hybridization, DNA microarrays and proteomics related to the testicular biopsy will be presented.

From the reviews:
“The purpose is to present a concise review of the human testis in terms of its development, physiology, morphology, and pathology. The atlas serves as ready reference for anyone involved in embryology, reproduction physiology, or treatment of clinical disorders. These noteworthy goals are largely met. The audience includes students, reproductive biologists, endocrinologists, and urologists. The authors are experts in their fields. … This should serve as a ready reference for those involved in reproductive biology and male infertility.” (Peter A. McCue, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2013)
