January 2018 Issue of The Pathologist

Our first issue in 2018 covers the promise of computational pathology in the first of a two-part feature – three gurus explain how it can help enhance pathologists’ work. We also look into chimerism overcoming transplant rejection, the critical importance of inter-departmental teamwork, and how the WHO’s Blue Books evolve to keep up with the changing classifications of cancer. Plus, we sit down with Richard J. Ablin, the man behind the discovery of prostate specific antigen (PSA).
