- Abstract
- This book retains the core contents of the successful first edition and covers all the practical issues related to prostate biopsy diagnosis in day-to-day practice. It uses abundant algorithms, flow charts, and tables to simulate a pathologist’s thought process and assist decision making during evaluation of prostate biopsies. Chapters address the most effective ways to evaluate a prostate biopsy and how to formulate a diagnostic approach upon encountering a specific clinical problem. Pertinent new information is incorporated in all chapters, particularly in how novel diagnostic tools such as MRI and genomic tests may affect prostate biopsy practice and diagnosis. An entirely new chapter on pattern-based approaches to prostate biopsy interpretation has been added. The second edition of Prostate Biopsy Interpretation: An Illustrated Guide is not meant to be an all-encompassing, definitive bibliography of pathology of prostate cancer. Instead, it provides practicing surgical pathologists and trainees a quick and handy reference for all the practical issues relevant to day-to-day interpretation of prostate biopsy.

- Abstract
- Prostate needle biopsy specimens account for an important portion of a surgical pathologist's daily work. There is, however, a significant error rate when diagnosing prostate cancer in needle biopsies. Furthermore, the modified Gleason grading scheme is being only slowly adopted, and there is considerable variation in reporting. This book covers all the practical issues related to the interpretation of prostatic biopsies in day-to-day practice, including: biopsy sampling and processing; the diagnosis of limited cancer; differentiation of prostate cancers from benign lesions and recognition of histologic variants; the recognition and clinical significance of "atypical" diagnoses and HGPIN; the identification of recently described entities; the contemporary approach to Gleason grading; the utility of immunohistochemical markers and emerging molecular markers; and the reporting of prostate biopsies. The book contains numerous carefully selected, high-quality color images and uses algorithms, flow charts, and tables to simulate the thought and decision-making process upon encountering common clinical scenarios during sign-out of prostate biopsy. It will appeal especially to practicing surgical pathologists as well as to pathology residents and fellows in training who require a handy resource designed for use in daily practice.
