Atlas Of Placental Pathology (AFIP Atlas Of Tumor And Non-Tumor Pathology, Series 5, Volume 6) (Original PDF From Publisher)

Written by Drucilla J. Roberts and Carolyn Polizzano

Both doctors and surgical pathologists frequently overlook the placenta. Placental diagnostics offer explanatory findings, recurrent risk for subsequent pregnancies and risk assessment for the prognosis of the newborn.

Placental diagnosis is of broad interest for the assessment of placental function in real time with the ultimate goal of influencing treatment, inborn errors of metabolism, some infections, cancers, and antenatal predictors of adult disease. A large portion of the knowledge on the significance of placental pathology is based on retrospective studies and personal experience due to the challenges associated with researching human gestation and prenatal disorders. But this book gives the reader knowledge supported by evidence. In order to arrive at a more accurate and helpful final diagnosis, the authors stress the importance of a well-informed and targeted placenta collection through physical inspection.
