The first edition (2000) grew out of a procedure manual prepared at the Brigham and Women's Hospital--a collaborative effort involving the expertise of staff, residents, and assistants; the handbook has evolved at that institution over the years, and pathologist Susan Lester undertook preparation of this second edition. In her preface she specifies that the manual is intended as a guide rather than a prescription, because cases and procedures vary from institution to institution. Coverage includes step-by-step instruction for the gross examination and processing of pathology spcimens, check lists for each major tumor type, current recommended criteria for tumor grading, discussions of frozen section diagnosis, injury prevention, and basic microscopic techniques. Approximately 150 tables support the text.
