Diagnostic Immunohistochemistry: An Algorithmic Approach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788168718258)

The IHC reference for the pathologist deciding the next stain at sign-out.

Diagnostic Immunohistochemistry: An Algorithmic Approach addresses a long-standing gap in the international IHC literature - the absence of a reference that integrates pattern recognition, the molecular surrogate framework, and a categorised pitfalls taxonomy in one diagnostic voice.

Thirty-two chapters in three parts - Foundations, Predictive Frameworks, and Organ-Specific Reading Discipline - culminate in a Cross-Organ Surrogate Reference Appendix that consolidates fourteen unified molecular-IHC frameworks (BAP1, SMARCB1, BCOR, IDH, BRAF V600E, beta-catenin nuclear, TFE3, NTRK, MDM2, SDHB, and others) into a single accessible layer. Forty-three schematic algorithm figures are the load-bearing content of each chapter.

Every chapter follows the same architecture: pattern recognition entry, algorithmic decision tree, molecular surrogate integration per the Class I, II, and III framework, predictive and theranostic biomarker deployment, and a categorised pitfalls section.

What this book offers:

- One diagnostic method, applied uniformly across every chapter and the appendix
- Algorithm-first architecture with 43 schematic decision trees
- Molecular surrogate framework - Class I, II, III - applied uniformly
- WHO 5th Edition native across all organ systems
- Cross-Organ Surrogate Reference Appendix - 14 unified frameworks
- Four-category pitfalls taxonomy in every chapter
- 257-entry page-number index for rapid bench-side lookup

Written for diagnostic pathologists, surgical pathology fellows, and pathology trainees preparing for FRCPath, USMLE, and board examinations. Current to the WHO 5th edition across all organ systems.
