The Impact of New Technologic and Molecular Advances in the Daily Practice of Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology

摘要: The practice of anatomic pathology, and gastrointestinal pathology in particular, has been dramatically transformed the past decade. In addition to multitude diseases, syndromes, clinical entities encountered daily practice, increasing integration new technologic molecular advances into field gastroenterology is occurring at a fast pace. Application these challenged pathologists correlate newer methodologies with existing morphologic criteria, which many instances still provide gold standard for diagnosis. This review describes impact on hepatobiliary pathology. We discuss drugs that can affect tract liver, endoluminal techniques, tests are often performed reflexively, imaging techniques evaluating hepatocellular carcinoma, modified approaches gross histologic assessment o...
