Drs. Chengquan Zhao,Liron Pantanowitz,both from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center(UPMC),and Dr. Yang are to be congratulated on their new comprehensive Chinese language review of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytopathology. This impressive reference work has been in preparation for two years and relied upon collaboration with 17 academic center cytopathologists,most of whom are currently working in the US. Reflecting the current US trend toward sub-specialization,this book offers an in depth collection of well-illustrated case material covering most commonly accessed organ systems. Over 1300 photomicrographs,100 tables,14 chapters nicely lay out both introductory concepts as well as detailed diagnostic insights commonly known to only more experienced practitioners. Accordingly,this publication should prove useful to both pathologists early in their training and experience with fine needle aspiration cytology as well as to more experienced practitioners. The publication also includes valuable chapters on cytopreparatory and ancillary techniques and on application of newer adjunctive molecular diagnostic methods useful in fine needle aspiration cytology interpretation and prognostic assessment. This text is a meritorious addition to Drs. Zhao and Yang's earlier Chinese language publication on Gynecologic Cytopathology. It should prove to be a helpful education resource to support the growing cost-effective use of fine needle aspiration cytology in China.
祝贺赵澄泉医生、Liron Pantanowitz医生和杨敏医生主编的《细针穿刺细胞病理学》一书出版!
本书经过两年时间酝酿,由17位细胞病理学家共同完成。其中赵澄泉医生、Liron Pantanowitz医生来自美国匹兹堡大学医疗中心(UPMC),其他大多数编者也在美国医院工作。
这是一本内容全面的细胞病理学专著,体现了美国病理学目前呈现亚专科化的发展趋势。本书向读者展示了精心收藏的图文并茂的病例材料,内容涵盖大多数常见器官系统疾病。全书分为14章,共有超过1300幅显微照片,近100张表格,包括相关的概念和详细的诊断要点。这些精深的细胞病理学知识通常只有经验非常丰富的细胞病理医生才能领悟和了解。本专著既可适用于细针穿刺细胞学的初学者,也适用于有经验的病理医生。本书还包括其他一些很有价值的章节,如介绍了细胞学标本制备和辅助研究技术,以及分子学辅助诊断方法的最新进展,有助于细针穿刺细胞病理学的判读和预后评估。本书也是对赵澄泉医生和杨敏医生以前出版的《妇科细胞病理学诊断与临床处理》的有益补充。
细针穿刺细胞病理学实践具有低成本高效率的优势,在中国的开展日益增多,本书将为此提供有益的教学材料。
