Features of this new book include:
1. A focus on precancerous lesions and cancer of the uterine cervix.
2. Morphologic description of cellular clusters and single cell changes in detail.
3. Comprehensive cervical cancer chapters, including both those of squamous and glandular origin, based on comparison of cytology and histology.
4. Invaluable new view points for interpretation and classification
5. Material selected from more than 2 million cervical smears from the Swiss Cancer Society, Cytology Laboratory St. Gallen and Institute of Pathology, University of Lausanne, and the Laboratory of Clinic Cecil, Lausanne.
The objectives of this book are as follows:
1. To provide a reference book with case examples for cytological training and diagnostic improvement.
2. To evaluate our own experiences.
