This book covers all the practical issues related to the interpretation of prostatic biopsies in day-to-day practice, including: biopsy sampling and processing; the diagnosis of limited cancer; differentiation of prostate cancers from benign lesions and recognition of histologic variants; the recognition and clinical significance of “atypical” diagnoses and HGPIN; the identification of recently described entities; the contemporary approach to Gleason grading; the utility of immunohistochemical markers and emerging molecular markers; and the reporting of prostate biopsies. Algorithms, flow charts, and tables are used throughout to simulate the thought and decision-making process upon encountering common clinical scenarios during sign-out of prostate biopsy. The book is richly illustrated with carefully selected, high-quality color images and will appeal especially to practicing surgical pathologists as well as pathology residents and fellows in training.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Prostate needle biopsy specimens account for an important portion of a surgical pathologist’s daily work. There is, however, a significant error rate when diagnosing prostate cancer in needle biopsies. Furthermore, the modified Gleason grading scheme is being only slowly adopted, and there is considerable variation in reporting.

From the reviews:
“This text is derived from a course that the 2 authors presented at a national meeting over the course of several years. ... The emphasis of the text is on problems that may arise in examining prostate biopsies ... . The authors have done a wonderful job of bringing their well-received course to the printed page. ... This text is likely to find a place on the shelves of many pathologists who interpret prostate needle biopsies.” (Andrew Renshaw, Advances in Anatomic Pathology, Vol. 20 (2), March, 2013)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
