Dail and Hammar's pulmonary pathology

Abstract

Dail and Hammar's Pulmonary Pathology has established itself as the definitive reference in the field. This third edition is now a two-volume, full color text and has been thoroughly updated to cover newly recognized entities and the latest advances in molecular diagnostic techniques. It is abundantly illustrated with more than 2,000 illustrations in total, 1,900 of which are in full color. This outstanding contribution to pathology literature is a must-have for the library of every surgical and pulmonary pathologist. It has set the standard for which all other pathology texts strive to achieve. This first volume focuses on Non-neoplastic lung diseases, and Volume II covers Neoplastic Lung Diseases. New chapters include information on the pathology of small airways disease; forensic lung pathology; molecular genetics of lung and pleural neoplasms and pre-invasive disease. This new edition also includes two chapters devoted to molecular pathology that are a compendium of information on the molecular pathology of lung tumors as well as a primer on basic molecular pathology. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
