“Standardization to aid the clinical decision making process is essential and the Paris system provides a basis for both the pathologist and the clinician. The use of defined criteria and abundant photomicrographs in this book are a definite asset to this reporting system and provide strong scaffolding for future revisions as more data becomes available. This book will be very useful to cytopathology laboratories as they adapt to this reporting system.” (Brenda J. Sweeney, The ASC Bulletin, Vol. LIV (1), January, 2017)

“This book presents the standardized reporting system and nomenclature for urine cytopathology ... . The audience is pathologists and resident trainees who regularly practice cytopathology. Urologists and oncologists also will find the book useful in clinical practice. ... This is an excellent contribution to the cytology literature and should be in any cytologist's library. The illustrations are excellent and can assist pathologists when encountering difficult cases. ... Overall, this will make an excellent addition to departmental and pathologists’ libraries.” (Kyle D. Perry, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
