Description
'One of the things that I have found most useful in the textbook is the inclusion of summary boxes which help to point out the key messages of each of the chapters...a really great way to test my knowledge at the end of a chapter and ensure that I hadn't missed any of the key points' - ("Medical Student Review"). "General and Systematic Pathology" progresses from a review of general pathology principles and disease mechanisms through detailed discussions of the pathologic entities associated with each organ system. Nearly 700 full-colour photographs and pathology slides bring the content to life. This new edition reflects the latest discoveries in cellular and molecular pathology with extensive updates.
