As a pathology resident in surgical pathology I use this on a daily basis. CAP derives their cancer reporting protocols from these reporting guidelines. The book provides clear and concise information allowing me to gross surgical specimens and then generate a report relevant to the surgeon.
An absolutely essential book for surgical pathologists. Clear explanation with summary of the difference between this one and the previous edition.
Highly detailed description of the staging of the neoplasms and especially in the matter of surgical vs non-surgical margins for the determination of the R category for residual tumor. Includes the new TNM system for neuroendocrine tumors (lung, intestine, pancreas etc), modified information about Tumor Deposits in colorectal cancer (changes the “smooth contour” consensus) and new definitions in Melanoma report (ulceration, micro-satellite deposits etc).
A truly great effort to make Pathology a true Consensus among Pathologists and less a matter of personal opinions.
