책소개

Diagnostic Molecular Pathology: A Guide to Applied Molecular Testing, Second Edition assembles a group of experts to discuss the molecular basis and mechanisms of major human diseases and disease processes and how the molecular features of disease can be harnessed to develop practical molecular tests for disease detection, diagnosis and prognosis. The book explains how molecular tests are utilized in the treatment of patients in personalized medicine, highlights new technologies and approaches of applied molecular pathology, and discusses how this discovery-based research yields new and useful biomarkers and tests. As it is essential to stay up-to-date on new molecular diagnostics in this changing field, this book covers critically important areas in the practice of personalized medicine and reflects our understanding of the pathology, pathogenesis and pathophysiology of human disease. Includes new material on mass spectrometry for infectious diseases, microbiome, homology-directed repair for PARPi, whole genome sequencing for constitutional testing, and much more Provides insights on the value of the molecular test in comparison to traditional methods, which include speed, precision, sensitivity and clinical impacts for the patient Focuses on the menu of molecular diagnostic tests available in modern molecular pathology or clinical laboratories that can be applied to disease detection, diagnosis and classification in the clinical workup of a patient Explains how molecular tests are utilized to guide the treatment of patients in personalized medicine (guided therapies) and for the prognostication of disease

출판사 서평

Praise for the First Edition: "Diagnostic Molecular Pathology is destined to become an important cornerstone and go-to volume for pathologists, researchers, and clinicians, indeed anyone who wants to understand the approach and application of modern molecular techniques in disease detection and diagnosis. Drs. Coleman and Tsongalis, and their impressive stable of contributors, are to be congratulated for making the exciting and rapidly expanding science of molecular diagnosis accessible to the novice, while also providing the expert with important details on the nuances. Beyond just a compendium of useful information, it is a well-curated journey through basic concepts, infectious diseases, malignancy, hematopathology, and genetic diseases, and even includes access to a website with lab test videos and decision-making exercises." --Richard N. Mitchell, MD, PhD (Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School) "With much fanfare, molecular techniques have revolutionized clinical medicine, from diagnosis to personalized medical therapeutics. It is with this background that Diagnostic Molecular Pathology approaches the daunting task of summarizing the advances in the field from infectious disease, heritable and acquired genetic diseases, hematological malignancies, to pharmacogenomics. In a comprehensive publication, the editors perform a yeoman’s effort in covering this dynamic and exciting field." --Lawrence M. Silverman, PhD (University of Virginia School of Medicine) "Diagnostic Molecular Pathology provides a panoramic view of diagnostic molecular pathology testing, written by leaders in the field. It is a great reference and learning tool." --Dani S. Zander, MD (University of Cincinnati Medical Center)
