"The authors provide a comprehensive review of the cytopathology of lesions of the mediastinum and tubular GI tract. ... This is a compact yet thorough reference for mediastinal and GI EUS-FNA. It is an ideal scope-side reference book; I'll recommend it to colleagues and trainees alike." (Blythe Gorman, The ASC Bulletin, Vol. 54 (5), September, 2017)

"This book summarizes the cytopathology of disease processes of the mediastinum in a practical way, with plenty of quality graphics for its small size. ... This is intended as a resource for cytopathologists, cytopathology fellows, cytotechnology students, and upper level pathology residents. It is indeed a great resource for all of the above, but it is also helpful for clinical practitioners and fellows. ... Other medical professionals interested in the area also will find it useful."
