Volume 18, No. I [January "1987]
with references extending to 1983 and often to 1984. The individual chapters vary considerably in organization and the degree of detail provided. Appropriately, nonanatonfic determinants of cancer risk are usually presented. The evaluation of endometrial proliferative lesions is exceptionally well done. While the authors do not provide well-defined recommendations f o r classification, the reader is left with a good understanding of the critical histologic criteria and the major problems in differential diagnosis. Chapters on the dispersed endocrine system and bone are superb, as they not only present what might be said about borderline or incipient malignancies, but also represent an excellent review of neoplasms and concepts related to those areas. Photographs appropriately punctuate the book, and illustrative charts and tables are
often available. While man}' of the illustrations are of exceptional quality, only a few chapters contain photomicrographs that are not sufficiently sharp or detailed to demonstrate the author's point. The authors are well chosen, are uniformly familiar with their subjects, and, more often than not, are recognized experts in the area covered. The reader is left with the unavoidable conclusion that precancerous states are still in need of more certain definition. Approaches are currently determined largely by those who work in each individual organ system. Such is the current state of tbe art, and this is an excellent, and highly recommended, overall presentation.--DAvtD L. PAGE, MD, AND FRED GORSTE1N, MD, Professors of Pathology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
