This book is essential to any pathology course
This book is essential to any pathology course
The Robbins & Cotran "Pathologic Basis of Disease", in my opinion, is the best core book for pathology studies at all levels. The book provides the necessary amount of data, facts, findings and explanations in great balance, so that undergraduate medical students benefit both from sharpening their logical and medical thinking, and from learning important facts, that will be necessary in their coming clinical years. Besides the undergraduate study level, this book can be very helpful to pathologists, primary care physicians and generally any medical doctor who wants to refresh their knowledge on the exciting world of pathogenesis of different diseases.

Excellent and up-to date explanations of the disease mechanisms; very explicative illustration and tables; useful boxes with key concepts; molecular analysis and laboratory diagnostic methodologies well described, allowing integration with part of the course dedicated to the Training in Laboratory Medicine.
Each chapter adds insights that are mandatory to know for teachers and students. I will recommend the book to PhD students and research fellows.
Excellent resource, very up to date. Clear diagrams, clear explanations. Brilliant clinical relevance.
A comprehensive book that covers the main conditions that one would be expected to be familiar with and understand the basic pathophysiological concepts for. I'm not particularly keen on the order of sections but each section is well organised, the best part is that the key concepts are highlighted at the end of each subsection. The morphology is also emphasised in green for ease of navigation and each description is concise, as if the "clinical features" of conditions to allow for holistic understanding of pathology and how it relates to their medical practice. Another very positive comment about this book is the incorporation of "suggested reading" sections at the end of each chapter which directs students to more detailed information should they wish for it. Overall a very useful book that will detail the more common conditions and some less frequently seem for a comprehensive pathological education.
Excellent supplemental to core pathology concepts. Incredibly useful for preparing lecture material and as suggested further reading for relevant disease mechanisms.
great book
Excellent book that we have used for many years for the Molecular Pathology course. Looking forward to read the new edition.
