Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer Syndromes - E-Book, 3rd Edition
Key Features
- Helps physicians recognize syndromes and syndrome-associated neoplasms and advise treating physicians, patients, and their families on the possibility of a familial syndrome and their risk of developing other tumors
- Addresses a wide range of inherited tumor syndromes to increase understanding of the gross and histologic features of syndromic-associated neoplasms as well as associated manifestations
- Part I includes nearly 100 detailed chapters describing diagnoses by organ and system associated with familial cancer syndromes; Part II contains more than 80 chapters with detailed descriptions of major inherited syndromes (cross-referenced with diagnoses); and Part III features an updated Molecular Factors Index that includes a complete description of each known gene associated with a familial cancer syndrome
- Includes substantial updates throughout, with more than a dozen new chapters, new images and references, updated guidelines and classifications based on the 2025 WHO Classification of Tumours: Genetic Tumour Syndromes, details on the newest familial cancer syndromes, and more
- Contains hundreds of tables organized by body part and/or organ system that include selected existing genetic and familial cancers and identified associated genes, clinical features, recognized manifestations, and staging images/microscopic examples
- Features nearly 2,300 print and online images, including clinical and radiologic images, algorithms, graphics, gross pathology and histology images, and a wide range of special and immunohistochemical stains and molecular markers―all carefully annotated to highlight the most diagnostically significant factors
- Employs consistently templated chapters, bulleted content, key facts, annotated images, and an extensive index for quick, expert reference at the point of care
- Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date

Review of the previous edition:
"This book, written by world renowned experts in the field, is user-friendly in its well-organized presentation of cancer syndromes grouped by organ systems and serves as a rapid and efficient assistant in the recognition, diagnosis, reporting, and management of these diseases. I highly recommend this book to anyone who diagnoses or treats patients with familial cancer syndromes." -Laura Baugh, D.O., Ph.D. (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Review Score: 95-4 Stars!
