Urinary System: Cytology, Histology, Cystoscopy, and Radiology

In their mission to solve the puzzle of managing patients with genitourinary disease, the editors of Urinary System: Cytology, Histology, Cystoscopy, and Radiology present a multidisciplinary correlation of genitourinary cancer prevention and diagnosis aimed at pathologists, urologists, and oncologists.

Urinary System: Cytology, Histology, Cystoscopy, and Radiology presents visual and descriptive guidelines for interpreting samples.

Urinary System: Cytology, Histology, Cystoscopy, and Radiology begins with an overview of the urinary system and moves on to the techniques and tools for diagnosing illness.

This atlas-style book, enhanced with 400 color illustrations, provides surgical pathologists and cytopathologists with descriptive guidelines for the diagnostic hallmarks of genitourinary diseases.

A major feature of this atlas-style book, differentiating it from other genitourinary pathology resources, is the incorporation of cystourethroscopic/ureterorendoscopic features of urologic lesions contributed by urologists, along with radiologic features of renal mass lesions, and ancillary tests for the detection of urothelial carcinoma.
