AFIP Atlas: Tumors of the Bone Marrow – A Comprehensive Diagnostic Guide

The field of diagnostic hematopathology has witnessed significant evolution, with the World Health Organization (WHO) classification scheme for hematologic neoplasms gaining widespread acceptance in clinical practice. This volume is a critical resource that integrates the proposed WHO 2016 recommendations, highlighting areas that may require further classification revisions or where criteria are controversial.

Immunophenotypic and Molecular Genetic Testing

The atlas places substantial emphasis on the immunophenotypic and molecular genetic tests of greatest value in diagnoses, risk assessment, and disease monitoring. The rapidly expanding role of genetics in disease classification and risk assessment is reflected in the comprehensive coverage of molecular genetic findings for each neoplasm.

Key Problem Areas and Differential Diagnostic Considerations

In addition to comprehensive coverage of primary blood and bone marrow neoplasms, the atlas also addresses metastatic neoplasms in bone marrow. Key problem areas and differential diagnostic considerations are thoroughly discussed for each neoplastic disease category, providing readers with a deep understanding of the complexities involved.

This authoritative atlas serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, pathologists, and researchers, providing comprehensive information necessary for the clinical assessment of bone marrow neoplasms. With its focus on the latest advances in diagnostic techniques and classification, this volume is poised to remain a definitive guide in the field for years to come.
