In recent years, rapid strides have been made in the field of

Neuropathology. This has led to significant improvement in diagnosis.

Emerging information on the pathology of neoplastic and non-neoplastic

brain diseases has also improved diagnostic criteria and classification

systems, impacting the management of patients.
Essentials of

Diagnostic Surgical Neuropathology is the first book on Neuropathology

in India that covers the vast subject of Surgical Neuropathology in a

concise, point-wise format, making reading and recapitulation easy. the

main emphasis of this book is on neoplastic pathology, given the

revolutionary changes which have occurred in the understanding of CNS

tumours. In addition, the book also explains the pathology of

non-neoplastic lesions that need surgical intervention. In current

clinical practice, clinicians are increasingly dependent upon holistic

histomolecular diagnosis that aids clinical decision making. Since

ancillary techniques are a very important component of diagnosis and of

the final integrated pathology reports, the book also includes

immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnosis especially in the brain

tumour section.
In addition to this, the book has the following

special features which, when presented in its user-friendly format,

makes it an invaluable resource:

High quality representative coloured photomicrographs
Immunoprofile and key molecular genetic alterations
Prognostic factors
This

book will serve as an updated reference manual in Neuropathology for

neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuro-oncologists, neuro-radiologists and

research scientists. It will also be a useful guide to Neuropathology

diagnosis for surgical pathologists.
The editors Chitra Sarkar, Vani

Santosh and Geeta Chackoare eminent Neuropathologists at the forefront

of diagnosis, teaching and research in pathology and molecular biology

of diseases of the nervous system. In addition, the contributors to this

book include more than 25 experts in the field of Neuropathology from

leading institutes across the country, making it a valuable resource for

clinicians, pathologists, students and scientists. In recent years,
