Diagnosis is discussed for all tissue sample types, including fine needle aspirates, needle core biopsy, transurethrally resected prostatic chips, open (simple) prostatectomy tissues, radical prostatectormy tissue, and metastatic prostatic cancer samples. Chapters are included on basic anatomy and the molecular biology of prostate cancer. Attention is given to pseudoneoplastic and pseudobenign conditions so often misdiagnosed. The text is well illustrated with drawings, diagrams, and color plates of H&E-stained sections. The references included with each chapter and in the heavily annotated text have been updated into 2003, when the book was printed. Humphrey teaches and practices at the Washington U. School of Medicine in St Louis, Missouri. The book is oversize, at 10.25x12.25". Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
