Hematopathology 101 Laying the Foundation

Hematopathology (Hemepath) is the study of cancers of the blood and lymph nodes. There are over 150 diagnoses. Many Hemepath resources can cost hundreds of dollars, and although they describe dozens of features for each entity, the majority are nonspecific “soft signs”. One official catalog is nearly 1,000 pages long. Other texts are either over 700 pages and go into painstaking detail for each entity, or they are shorter and give bullet points for tests but don’t guide readers through the diagnostic process. This further complicates the learning landscape. Many aspiring pathologists attempt to learn entities one at a time in extraordinary detail. For Hemepath, this approach sets them up for a what can feel like an impossible task.

Where do I start? How do I approach this in a way that actually helps me make a confident diagnosis? What are the big picture concepts? The answers to these questions are clearly addressed in this book. It focuses on malignant (myeloid and lymphoid) hematopathology. It concisely lays a foundation of basic knowledge and guides away from confusion and toward confidence, away from puzzlement and toward proficiency.
