Molecular Diagnostics for Dermatology: Practical Applications of Molecular Testing for the Diagnosis and Management of the Dermatology Patient by Gregory A. Hosler, Kathleen M. MurphyEnglish | PDF | 2014 | 370 Pages | ISBN : 3642540651 | 16.5 MB
This textbook presents the current (and near-future) state of affairs of molecular testing as it pertains to the dermatology patient. It focuses on practical applications of molecular diagnostics over a cross-section of dermatologic disease, including melanoma, lymphoma, soft tissue tumors, genodermatoses, and infectious disease. It includes practical advice to those ordering molecular tests as well as to those considering performing such tests, providing a potential template for a comprehensive dermatologic molecular diagnostics test menu. Pitfalls of interpretation and algorithmic approaches to testing are included. The textbook is directed towards all readers – clinicians, pathologists, laboratorians, and other inquisitive minds – independent of their level of molecular expertise, to provoke thought or perhaps even change practice.
