Gleason Grading of Prostate Cancer

by Mahul B., M.d. (edt) Amin

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Featuring more than 300 full-color photomicrographs that represent the entire spectrum of the Gleason grading system, this atlas is the first comprehensive and definitive reference devoted to Gleason grading of prostate cancer. It is written by four eminent authorities in urologic pathology who bring their collective expertise and consensus opinion in Gleason grading. Illustrative case examples from the authors' collections highlight the pitfalls and problems of applying the Gleason grading system to contemporary techniques in pathology.

Book News Annotation:

The Gleason grading system for prostate cancer helps clinicians to predict disease outcome and recommend the best course of treatment for their patients. Aimed at practicing pathologists, this text presents an updated approach to Gleason grading that takes into account the limitations of the narrower 18-guage-needle biopsy. Over 300 color images illustrate a wide spectrum of Gleason grading situations, including difficult-to-read "cusp" patterns as well as the more classic "textbook" examples. Amin is Director of Surgical Pathology at Emory U. School of Medicine.
