"In the rapidly evolving molecular era of pathology, especially in my specialty of paediatric and perinatal pathology, the 3rd edition of Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer Syndromes by Vania Nosé arrives as both a timely and an indispensable addition to the modern pathologist's bookshelf. Spanning over 1,000 pages with nearly 2,300 images, colourful tables and diagnostic flowcharts, this book is filled to the brim with useful high-yield information that is bound to crop up in any pathologist's reporting in 2026.... The use of concise bullet point entries, an intuitive structure and consistent templating make what could have been an unwieldy mammoth into a user-friendly resource.... Nosé's Diagnostic Pathology: Familial Cancer Syndromes is a valuable resource for both trainees and consultants, effectively bridging morphology and genetics.... I believe this book, along with other resources of its kind, will become increasingly important as this area of histopathology continues to evolve and expand." Review by Dr Sharmila Selvan, The Royal College of Pathologists, July 2026 "Interest in Familial Cancer Syndromes has grown significantly in recent years, thanks to the widespread use of molecular biology in clinical practice and the resulting ability to diagnose as genetically determined many previously otherwise defined pathological conditions. The specificity of this book also lies in its narrow focus on syndromes, i.e., complex pathological conditions that can involve multiple areas and/or organs. The text’s foundation is clearly structured around pathological anatomy, but significant attention is also paid mainly to the clinic and molecular biology. In this context, the book may be highly interesting not only for pathologists and oncologists, but also for imaging diagnosticians. In fact, although modern diagnostics tends to prioritize exams based on pathophysiological and molecular prerequisites, morphostructural analysis remains mandatory, and this text is perfect for understanding the structural basis of the image and for directing attention into other areas likely involved in the syndrome." Review by Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2026"The text’s foundation is clearly structured around pathological anatomy, but significant attention is also paid mainly to the clinic and molecular biology. In this context, the book may be highly interesting not only for pathologists and oncologists, but also for imaging diagnosticians.... [T]his third edition comes approximately five years after the previous one. The text has been extensively updated in content, images, and references, and has been expanded with additional information, developed in new chapters.... [It] can be also helpful for diagnostic imagers and students and practitioners who want to delve deeper into this specific topic. The presence of consistently templated chapters, bulleted content, key facts, annotated images, and an extensive index for quick, expert reference at the point of care, together with the included eBook version, support the best use." Review by Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, September, 2025Review of the previous edition: "This book, written by world renowned experts in the field, is user-friendly in its well-organized presentation of cancer syndromes grouped by organ systems and serves as a rapid and efficient assistant in the recognition, diagnosis, reporting, and management of these diseases. I highly recommend this book to anyone who diagnoses or treats patients with familial cancer syndromes." -Laura Baugh, D.O., Ph.D. (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Review Score: 95-4 Stars!
