Summary

Modern Surgical Neuropathology: A Comprehensive Guide

The nervous system, a complex and delicate organ, is particularly vulnerable to disease. While brain tumors were once considered a death sentence, advancements in the past decade have significantly improved recovery prospects. Pathologists play a critical role in surgical diagnosis, requiring accurate identification of diverse disease entities, precise determination of disease spread, and assessment of patient prognosis.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘… has an admirable breadth of scope and approach to surgical neuropathology … the references provided are helpful and up to date. The CD ROM accompanying the book is a very useful source of images for further study and for teaching purposes … well-produced … particularly successful in including sections on the diagnosis of non-neoplastic disorders, including inflammatory disorders, demyelinating diseases and dementia. These topics are amongst the most challenging in neuropathological biopsy diagnosis, so their inclusion is particularly welcome.’ BMA Medical Book Awards reviewer
