Pathology is presented in the context of modern cellular and molecular biology and contemporary clinical practice. After a clear introduction to basic principles, Underwood’s provides comprehensive coverage of disease mechanisms and the pathology of specific disorders ordered by body system.An unrivalled collection of clinical photographs, histopathology images and graphics complement the clear, concise text.Bonus electronic materials complete this superb learning package in pathology, including: - clinical case studies - to help apply essential principles to modern practice- a revised self-assessment section with over 200 questions and answers - to check understanding and aid exam preparation- especially produced video tutorials - to further explain and bring to life key topics- pathology crosswords – to recall key words and topics in a fun and interactive way
Fully revised throughout, including new content to highlight key developments linked to molecular pathology, personalised medicine, genome sequencing, genetic abnormalities and COVID.New and revised figures will further improve clarity, reflect the latest imaging techniques, and show increased diversity where appropriate.Refreshed International Advisory Board and new overseas contributors will further improve content relevance for international markets Revised content to align to the latest requirements of the Royal College Undergraduate Pathology Curriculum
