Review

Doody's Book Review Service, 05-MAY-08, Anamarija Morovic, MD, Zagreb University School of Medicine -- "This is an extremely helpful book for pathologists and pathologists in training who evaluate prostate biopsies. It should be widely distributed to pathology departments. The entire field of prostate pathology is covered in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. The book is a great quick reference and very helpful tool for the everyday work of a surgical pathologist. Among the strongest features of the book are the numerous tables that deal with differential diagnoses of prostate cancer versus benign conditions. The book is well illustrated with numerous excellent images that complement the text. In the sometimes confusing area of prostate pathology, this book will help you to interpret and report prostate biopsy in a modern, up-to-date, and patient-oriented way."-Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 94; 4 Stars)
