Zusammenfassung
Das Kapitel „Pathologische Grundlagen und Anforderungen“ gibt einen Überblick über klinisch-epidemiologische, morphologische und molekulare Grundlagen der in diesem Buch behandelten Neoplasien – Plattenepithelkarzinome der Haut und Schleimhäute, Basalzellkarzinome, Merkelzellkarzinome, Karzinome der Speicheldrüsen, Melanome der Haut und Schleimhäute – und die sich daraus ableitende pathologische Diagnostik der jeweiligen Entitäten. Es werden Epidemiologie und Prognose der inkludierten Neoplasien beschrieben und die zugrundeliegende Tumorgenese dargestellt. Anschließend wird der Fokus auf diagnostische histomorphologische Merkmale und ggf. für die Diagnostik erforderliche Zusatzuntersuchungen (Immunhistochemie, Molekularpathologie) gelegt – dies vor dem Hintergrund der aktuell gültigen Klassifikationen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) und unter Einbezug aktueller Forschungsergebnisse. Ergänzt werden die Ausführungen durch eine Diskussion von gewebsbasierten Biomarkern, die für Tumoren der Kopf-Halsregion aufgrund ihrer prädiktiven oder prognostischen Aussagekraft relevant sind und deren Bestimmung im Rahmen von Companion Diagnostic-Tests bei der Anwendung bestimmter Medikamente obligat durchzuführen ist.
