Oral Cytology [electronic resource] : A Concise Guide /
Mehrotra, Ravi.editor.
Oral Cytology: A Concise Guide provides a state-of-the-art review of the major issues specific to the field of oral cytology. The sections of the book have been structured to review the complexities of sample collection, manual/automated analysis, pitfalls, gray zones and controversies in diagnosis,  as well as, issues not covered by other available materials. Recent advancements in ancillary techniques like DNA ploidy, image analysis and  molecular biology are discussed in detail. This useful text is extensively illustrated with patient and microscopic  pictures, which will  further highlight the clinical application. Throughout the  text, simultaneous inclusion of both  cytologic and histologic images will allow cyto-histological correlation. Readers will find descriptions of techniques offering greater simplicity, speed, patient comfort and cost effectiveness, as well as improved diagnostic precision. This bench-side reference is a unique and valuable resource in the field of oral cytology, both for those currently in training and  clinicians dealing with the diagnosis of oral lesions.
