Atlas of Prostatic Cytology Techniques and Diagnosis

Atlas of Prostatic Cytology Techniques and Diagnosis / by W. Leistenschneider, R. Nagel.

Diagnostic and exfoliative cytology has today achieved a status that few could have envisaged 20 years ago. While exfoliative cytology has long been employed in gynecological diagnosis, new and rewarding spheres have now developed in which cytological diagnosis plays an important role. Exfoliative c...
