Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The second revised and updated edition provides an easily comprehensible and practicable framework for standardised histopathology reports in surgical cancer. It details the gross description, histological classification, tumour differentiation, extent of local tumour spread, involvement of lymphovascular channels, lymph nodes and excision margins of the common carcinomas and also summarises non-carcinomatous malignancies.
The 6th edition TNM classification of cancers is incorporated, with comments on any associated pathology, diagnostic clues and prognostic criteria. Staging information is supplemented visually by line diagrams.
The book is designed to complement other publications such as the Royal College of Pathologists Cancer Histopathology Data Sets, the 6th edition TNM Classification and WHO Classification of Tumours: Pathology and Genetics blue book series.
This book is invaluable for trainee and consultant diagnostic histopathologists all over the world.

Rated by buyers -
The Histopathology Reporting "Guidelines" by Derek C. Allen combines the sixth edition of the TNM classification with a very condensed "memory-aid" for the most common types of Surgical Malignancies.
The latter is the main difference from the "AJCC Cancer Staging Atlas," while the physical format of the book is similarly practical, most schematic drawings are the same.
In contrast to other "desk references" used in daily surgical pathology practice (eg. Lester's Manual of Surgical Pathology), Allen's book provides essential bullet points by organ/site and explains, when necessary, why these are pertinent for the final report (by means of staging, treatment, and prognosis).
The book includes the differential diagnosis and variants (by site) as well as an algorithm for immunostaining. The 470 pages are divided into an average of 15 pages per organ/site which can be easily managed during the work-up of a case or preview time.
Non-neoplastic disease is not included in the book(let), even though correct and complete histopathology reporting is also necessary in benign diseases. Therefore this book alone cannot be used as the single resource at the microscope. This is however, not a problem, as the book is not meant to do so, and appears well rounded, focused and "complete".
The paper quality is worth the price (by the way).
If you write a book on histopathology reporting and use the word "cancer" in the subtitle, pathologists cringe. However this adds irony....
If you are looking for a quick read on surgical malignancy, want to know how a report should be structured, and need a handy reference beside your scope for quick look-up, you need this book.
