USCAP BELOW THE BELT: Pitfalls and New Entities in Anorectal, Urologic and Gynecologic Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology 2023
Pathology of the lower anogenital tract, lower urinary tract, prostate, uterus, and cervix has advanced with the identification of relevant genes, better immunohistochemical markers, and the ability to readily detect human papillomavirus (HPV) using RNA in situ hybridization. New entities have recently been recognized, refinements to existing ones are possible, and new treatment, particularly immunotherapy, are available. Expert faculty will discuss newer entities and pitfalls in these areas, while also addressing diagnostic challenges in cytology and newly adopted classification schemes.
Pathology of the lower anogenital tract, lower urinary tract, prostate, uterus, and cervix is a rapidly evolving field. Recent advancements in the identification of relevant genes, better immunohistochemical markers, and the ability to detect human papillomavirus (HPV) using RNA in situ hybridization have revolutionized our understanding of these areas. New entities have been discovered, existing ones have been refined, and new treatment options, particularly immunotherapy, have become available.
This book is a comprehensive guide that explores the latest developments in the pathology of the lower anogenital tract, lower urinary tract, prostate, uterus, and cervix. Expert faculty in the field have contributed their knowledge and insights to provide an in-depth understanding of these complex and evolving areas.
The book starts by discussing the recent discoveries and advancements in the understanding of HPV-associated and HPV-independent neoplasms of the lower genital tract. These new entities and their diagnostic challenges are thoroughly explored, providing readers with the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.
The grading of prostatic carcinoma is another important topic covered in this book. The authors present a modern viewpoint on grading and provide valuable insights into the diagnostic challenges in this area. By understanding the latest grading systems, pathologists can provide more accurate diagnoses and optimize treatment plans for patients.
Diagnosing urothelial neoplasms versus those from adjoining sites can be challenging, and this book addresses these common pitfalls. The authors provide a systematic approach to differentiate between false positives and true cases, helping pathologists provide more accurate diagnoses.
Mimickers of common neoplasms of the anogenital and urothelial tracts are also covered in this book. By understanding the potential pitfalls and mimics, pathologists can avoid misdiagnoses and provide appropriate treatment plans for their patients.
Diagnostic challenges in cytology are also thoroughly explored in this book. The authors provide valuable insights into the interpretation of cytology samples and discuss the common pitfalls that pathologists may encounter. By establishing a systematic approach to diagnostic challenges in cytology, pathologists can improve their diagnostic accuracy and provide better patient care.
