Tumors of the Pancreas (Hardcover, 6th Revised edition)

In this new edition, the authors succinctly summarise clinical literature but also concentrate on both new entities and new concepts described since the publication of the third series ten years ago. The illustrations, with the exception of radiographs and electron micrographs, are in colour, and tumours are presented in detail. The continuing importance of tumour morphology in directing molecular studies is appropriately emphasised. In addition to the extensive discussion, illustrations, and up-to-date referencing of the numerous pancreatic tumours and tumour-like lesions, important discussions have been provided on normal gross, histologic and cytologic findings, and on pancreatic tumour staging. These discussions complement the authors’ treatment of the often confusing issue of frozen section interpretation, dissection, and reporting of pancreatic resection specimens, and an ""unknown"" pancreatic biopsy or cytology specimen. This volume should be the definitive reference on pancreatic tumour for years to come.
