Endometrial biopsy is a common procedure and almost all pathologists will regularly receive samples for diagnosis. This practical, well illustrated bench book is designed to guide trainees and practitioners through difficult diagnosis. Thoroughly revised and updated by Professor Fox and Dr Buckley particular attention has been given to new contraceptive preparations, the effects of Tamoxifan, new work on endometrial carcinoma, and new understanding of the effects of abortion and of trophoblastic disease.
