Reviews
“In this excellent initiative, leading a pluri-institutional group of more than 20 Japanese experts in pathological , radiological, clinical and surgical aspects of diseases of the liver, biliary tree and pancreas, Professor Nakanuma unifies relevant concepts regarding major diseases of biliary and pancreatic ducts developed along decades of practice in diagnostic pathology and in anatomic and molecular research, nowadays added with major contribution from many research groups from the Eastern and Western international academic centers.
Along the 12 chapters of this rather concise text, Nakanuma and coworkers expand the bases of their rationale for understanding of biliary-pancreatic diseases. Centered on the concepts of common embryology and on the similarities of response of epithelial cells from what used to be considered two converging ductal systems to different insults and to major molecular signals driven by transcriptional factors, Nakanuma, et al. presents compelling evidences for unifying concepts, leading the reader to the presently, well accepted understanding of “biliary diseases with pancreatic counterparts.
The integration of molecular and histopathological approaches pave the way to this unified concept of biliary-pancreatic system, is further based on the demonstration of important similarities of peribiliary glands and pancreatic duct glands, serving as sources for common progenitor cells , key structures in the pathogenesis both of inflammatory and of neoplastic biliary-pancreatic diseases.
This book is richly illustrated by macroscopic specimens, by histopathological and immune-histochemical images, complemented, whenever adequate, by radiological aspects, driving the reader along major pathological conditions that affect the biliary-pancreatic tree.
Based on these comments, I strongly recommend this book to pathologists, radiologists, endoscopists, clinicians and surgeons devoted to the study of the diseases of the liver, biliary ducts and pancreas.” – Venancio Avancini Ferreira Alves, MD, PhD, Professor and Chairman, Department of Pathology, University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine,Sao Paulo, Brazil
Audience: Hepatobiliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal physicians, particularly surgeons, internists, radiologists and pathologists, Institusions devoted to therapeutical and imagings developments for hepatobiliary pancreatic diseases, Tutors and educational peoples in pathology, physiology and clinical medicine
