| Summary |
"Thurlbeck's cornerstone textbook and reference on pulmonary pathology returns in a thoroughly revised third edition. Incorporating the latest advances in the field, this text shows how molecular biology provides a greater understanding of lung development; offers new insights into the diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lung disease; provides pertinent information on clinical features, epidemiology, and pathogenetic mechanisms of lung disease; and much more. The book also features tables, charts, and more than 1,000 high-quality illustrations for easy pinpointing and clarification of key concepts."--BOOK JACKET |
