Neoplastic diseases represent a significant portion of diagnostic pathology due to their clinical impact and histological diversity. This book addresses the classification, morphology, and progression of benign and malignant tumors across organ systems. It discusses tumor markers, grading, staging, and histogenetic origins with emphasis on diagnostic precision. Common cancers such as breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate are detailed alongside rare neoplasms and pediatric tumors. The role of biopsy interpretation, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing is thoroughly covered. Visual aids and diagnostic criteria make this book an essential reference for understanding cancer pathology.
Marley Jameson is recognized for her expertise in tumor pathology and the molecular underpinnings of neoplastic progression. She has authored several influential papers on diagnostic criteria for soft tissue and epithelial tumors. Her collaborations with oncologists have led to improved biopsy protocols and classification systems. She participates in international tumor boards and advisory committees. Her areas of focus include tumor grading, immunohistochemistry, and pathology-driven therapy decisions.
