Publisher's Synopsis
Building on a survey of molecular biological techniques, this volume offers new insights into old problems in paediatric pathology made possible by the application of these powerful tools. Invited experts discuss recent contributions to a better understanding of the complexities of embryogenesis; the spectrum of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours; the application of the polymerase chain reaction to archival material; the special character of neuroblastoma in the neonate; and the use of quantitative techniques to make morphological observations more objective.
