This volume provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of precancerous lesions and gynecologic tract cancers. Each section discusses the historic evolution of a precancerous lesion, its epidemiology, the nature of the published evidence that supports its characterization as a precancerous lesion, and gives a detailed description of morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular properties, and patient outcomes. The volume also features 2 separate chapters on the clinical management of precancerous lesions of the gynecologic tract as a well as the cytopathology of cervical precancerous lesions.
Lavishly illustrated and written by some of the foremost experts in the field, Precancerous Lesions of the Gynecologic Tract: Diagnostic and Molecular Genetic Pathology is a definitive account of precancerous lesions of the gynecologic tract and is a valuable resource for pathologists, oncologists, and gynecologists.

“The intent is to provide a comprehensive overview of precancerous lesions of the gynecologic tract. This book serves practicing pathologists, pathology fellows, and pathology residents. It is also an invaluable resource for academic researchers, clinical colleagues (especially gynecologists), gynecology residents, as well as oncologists. … Overall, this is a practical, succinctly written, and well‐illustrated book. … It should be widely distributed to pathology and general hospital libraries.” (Shuying Ji, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2016)
