Since the publication of the third edition there have been several changes in the pathology and classification of these lesions. The current edition updates the status of heart tumours, with emphasis on newer findings, especially molecular advances. In most cases, the authors have followed the classification of the World Health Organization, whose ......

The evolution of the classification of neoplasms of the urinary passages has changed greatly since Friedman and Ash published the first series AFIP fascicle on the urinary bladder in 1959. In their classification, there were four variants of urothelial ......
Since the publication of the third series in 1994, there has been a revolution in our understanding of the clinical, pathologic, and molecular features of tumours in the kidney, bladder or related urinary structures . Thus, it is fitting that this volume should be the first in the fourth series. In the fourth series in general, and in this ......
Numerous advances in our understanding of the pathology and molecular features of liver tumors have been made since the publication of the previous series, nearly two decades ago. Examples of recent advances include the identification of novel entities, including their precursor lesions, the discovery of key molecular changes, including the fusion ......
Remarkable advances have occurred since the Series 3 Fascicle published in 1995 with paradigm shifts in every dimension of our understanding of lung tumors including clinical, radiologic, histopathologic, cytopathologic, immunohistochemical, molecular and therapeutic aspects. The molecular revolution leading to effective targeted therapies and ......
The understanding of diagnostic lymph node and spleen pathology has evolved at an impressive pace since 1995, when the third series AFIP atlas was published. Progress has been fuelled, in large part, by the application of a number of technologies to the study of hematopoietic neoplasms. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification scheme for ......
Much has changed in the detection, diagnosis, and management of breast diseases since the previous editions of this fascicle, in particular for patients with invasive breast carcinoma. This fifth series edition conveys the challenges of diagnostic breast pathology, as well as excitement about the advances that have been, and have yet to be, made ......
The complexity of ovary and fallopian tube pathology is striking, with dozens of tumor types. There is a greater appreciation now of the importance of hereditary cancer syndromes in ovarian and tubal malignancies, as two common autosomal dominant hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes include carcinomas of ovary or fallopian tube. This book is ......

While classification of pancreatic neoplasms has not evolved significantly since 2007, data related to the molecular underpinnings that characterize each type of neoplasm have grown exponentially in the past 15 years. The current multimodal study of ......
