Atlas of Exocrine Pancreatic Tumors

With unprecedented breadth of scope, this atlas covers all aspects of exocrine pancreatic cancer, including morphogenesis, differential diagnosis, and the molecular biology of pancreatic tumors. One of its highlights is a revised, updated, and standardized international system of tumor classification documented by an extensive collection of photographs.
