Summary

The thoroughly revised Third Edition of this acclaimed reference retains the goal of the original--a practical, state-of-the-art, superbly illustrated guide to prostate biopsy interpretation. Drs. Epstein and Yang, two leading experts, provide comprehensive, current information on the classification, clinical features, prognosis, and evaluation of difficult and unusual as well as common lesions. Coverage includes normal, inflammatory, tumor-like, benign, and malignant conditions. This edition has been updated throughout and contains more tables to aid in differential diagnosis of similar lesions. "A bound-in CD-ROM contains more than 1,700 full-color images"--all with detailed legends and 100 with checklists of points in favor of and against a cancer diagnosis.
