This text provides a comprehensive and practical review of the main statistical methods in pathology and laboratory medicine. It introduces statistical concepts used in pathology and laboratory medicine. The information provided is relevant to pathologists both for their day to day clinical practice as well as in their research and scholarly activities. The text will begins by explaining the fundamentals concepts in statistics. In the later sections, these fundamental concepts are expanded and unique applications of statistical methods in pathology and laboratory medicine practice are introduced. Other sections of the text explain research methodology in pathology covering a broad range of topics from study design to analysis of data. Finally, data-heavy novel concepts that are emerging in pathology and pathology research are presented such as molecular pathology and pathology informatics.
Introduction to Statistical Methods in Pathology will be of great value for pathologists, pathology residents, basic and translational researchers, laboratory managers and medical students.

"This book would be useful for pathologists at any stage of their career, from residents through experienced practicing and/or academic pathologists. ... I really enjoyed updating my knowledge and use of statistics in my everyday practice. I know I will be lending this book to my staff whenever we embark on new method validation/verification, twice-yearly method comparison and analytical measurement range verification, etc. This is a most useful book to have at hand in any clinical laboratory."
