In recent decades, cytopathology has assumed an increasing role in
the primary diagnosis of mass lesions owing to its ability to
deliver rapid, non-invasive, and timely information. This book
provides a comprehensive overview of the role of cytology at
various body sites. The diagnostic details covered are abbreviated
in comparison with those in pathology texts. Instead, a more
clinical approach is taken, with the focus on the advantages and
limitations of techniques and the key features of entities that are
important to clinicians. Pathological–clinical correlation is
highlighted throughout the book, ensuring that it will be highly
relevant for clinicians. In particular, physicians who deal with
oncology patients will find it to be a rich source of guidance on
how to use and understand cytopathology in the diagnosis and
exclusion of malignancy.
