Critic Reviews

"...a valuable updated guide for histopathologists working in molecular oncology, where genetic and molecular profiling now play critical roles in diagnostics, prognosis and therapy. With a focus on bridging molecular insights with histopathological practice, this edition continues the Diagnostic Pathology series’ tradition of clarity and utility, providing a carefully organised resource for quick and effective access to information on diseases, mutations and therapeutic targets.... The extensive, high-quality images further enhance understanding by illustrating both morphological and molecular features.... an incredibly useful resource for histopathologists keeping pace with molecular advancements. By combining depth with an accessible format, it meets the needs of both experienced pathologists and newcomers to molecular diagnostics. I believe this latest edition has all the ingredients to become a staple text on the bookshelves of histopathologists and has the potential to enhance diagnostic precision and ultimately improve patient outcomes in the rapidly advancing world of molecular oncologic pathology." - Heather Keir (Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital), The Royal College of Pathologists, January 2025
