Cross-referenced to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, and thoroughly illustrated, it is theideal introduction to the basic medical sciences for junior medical students, and a perfect revision guide for senior students. The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Pathology provides an accessible and easy-to-use handbook for medical students and doctors, which succinctly explains the pathology behind important and common diseases relevant to the whole range of medical and surgical specialties.

Macroscopic and microscopic pathological features are described, as well as relevant immunohistochemical, molecular, and genetic information. Up-to-date staging information is provided for all major malignancies, and reference symbols are used to highlight important points and provide quick linksbetween related topics. This essential guide to pathology is an invaluable resource for medical students, pathology trainees, junior doctors, and biomedical scientists. Review Review from previous edition "I would certainly recommend this book for clinical students who want to refresh some basic sciences later in their education. This is a reliable reference book which I think will serve me very well into my clinical years and I shall keep by my desk for those moments where I need to find a long-ago learnt and now-forgotten fact!" ―Cambridge Medicine Journal About the Author Robert Wilkins, University Lecturer in Physiology and American Fellow in Physiology, University of Oxford,Simon Cross, Reader and Honorary Consultant, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Sheffield, UK,Ian Megson, Lifescan Chair of Diabetes, UHI Millennium Institute, Inverness,UK,David Meredith, University Research Lecturer, Lecturer in Biomedical Science, University of Oxford, UK,James Carton, Consultant Histopathologist, Imperial College Healthcare NHS TrustRobert Wilkins is a University Lecturer in Physiology and American Fellow in Physiology at the University of Oxford, UKSimon Cross is a Reader and Honorary Consultant at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Sheffield, UKIan Megson is the Lifescan Chair of Diabetes at the UHI Millennium Institute, Inverness, UKDavid Meredith is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry & Biomedical Science at Oxford Brookes University, UKJames Carton is a Consultant Histopathologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK
