Colorectal Tumors: Atlas of Large Section Histopathology

Comprehensive Insights with Large-Section Histopathology: Unlocking a Deeper Understanding of Colorectal Carcinoma

Precision in diagnosis and accurate staging are paramount in determining optimal treatment strategies for colorectal carcinoma, a prevalent malignancy in both America and Europe. Histopathology, an indispensable diagnostic tool for most malignant ailments, continues to evolve in the face of rapid medical advancements. In an era marked by collaborative medical disciplines, pathology has expanded its scope, offering images that seamlessly align with endoscopic, radiological, and surgical findings.

In this exceptional atlas, renowned histopathologist Tibor Tot unveils a novel approach to colon pathology: large histological sections. Cross-sectional images of entire tumors, captured within their anatomical milieu and encompassing their surgical margins, are meticulously presented. These unparalleled images serve as a comprehensive guide to accurate diagnosis, tumor classification, and staging in accordance with TNM criteria. They empower medical specialists to evaluate the thoroughness of surgical excision and gain a profound understanding of the inherent heterogeneity of colorectal carcinomas.

Distinctive Features:

• Cases are meticulously presented with clinical insights, conventional histopathology, and large-section histology images occupying nearly an entire page.
• Detailed visualization of pathology within the context of surrounding tissue environments.
• Exhaustive depiction of malignant tumor margins.
• Schematic illustrations for interpreting large-section images, promoting clarity.
• Extensive emphasis on the diagnostic superiority of utilizing large-section techniques.
• Comprehensive technical guidance for collecting large-section histopathology specimens.

Thoroughly researched over a seven-year period, this atlas draws upon the meticulous examination of nearly 2,000 cases of colorectal carcinoma and other intestinal lesions. It has garnered widespread acclaim, becoming an invaluable resource for pathologists, radiologists, surgeons, and oncologists seeking to deepen their understanding of colorectal carcinomas.
