Advances in Surgical Pathology: Gastric Cancer
Advances in Surgical Pathology: Gastric Cancer provides
a concise, updated review of the pathological characteristics
of gastric cancer, with an emphasis on exploring practical
issues and recent developments. The book features current and
emerging concepts in the field of gastric cancer, a disease
whose management requires a multidisciplinary approach in which
pathology plays a key role. Its six sections cover the
essential histopathology of gastric cancer as well as related
topics such as imaging evaluation, molecular diagnosis, and
personalized treatment, among other areas of interest.
Individual chapters written by international experts in the
fields of pathology, gastrointestinal medical oncology, cancer
epidemiology, and gastrointestinal radiology, address the
fundamental issues surrounding gastric cancer, including its
epidemiology, basic diagnostic features, differential
diagnoses, pitfalls and complications, and treatments.
Endoscopic evaluation and histology correlation are emphasized.
The screening, clinical management, and treatment of gastric
cancer are summarized in related book sections. Recent findings
regarding the roles of immunohistochemistry and molecular
testing in the diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment
of gastric cancer are also reviewed. The book also includes
current knowledge regarding the molecular alteration of gastric
cancer carcinogenesis and its impact on patient care.
