Main description:

This new edition provides trainees and pathologists with the latest information in the field of haematopathology, covering a broad range of benign and malignant disorders and describing their pathogenesis, clinical and pathologic diagnosis, and treatment options.

Each chapter presents a practical, clinically oriented approach to understanding the basis of tests, potential pitfalls (clinical, technical and biological) in their interpretation, and resulting treatment and prognosis.

The second edition has been fully revised to include the latest advances and also covers the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Maintenance of Certificate (MOC) examination.

Authored by recognised expert Da Zhang from University of Kansas Medical Centre, the text is further enhanced by full colour micro-photographs printed in large format, with detailed descriptions, markings and annotations.

The book concludes with a questions and answers section and comprehensive appendix section.
