Diagnostic Pulmonary Pathology starts with the patient and their biopsy findings, directing the pathologist of clinician to the proper diagnosis.

Diagnostic Pulmonary Pathology provides:

• progress in classification and diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases
• evolution of our understanding of pre-neoplastic lesions
• technology in histopathology
• molecular pathology
• thoracic radiology

Written by contributing doctors who are the forefront of recent advancemetns, Diagnostic Pulmonary Pathology:

• is organized based on how the patient should be approached, and the patient's own projections, signs, symptoms, and disease
• provides new imaging techniques and molecular diagnostic tests
• investigates the new classification schemes, i.e. classification and terminology for lung neoplasms, pulmonary hypertension, and lung transplant rejection
