Silverberg's Principles and Practice of Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology

Silverberg's Principles and Practice of Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology is one of the most durable reference texts in pathology. Thoroughly revised and updated, this state-of-the-art new edition encompasses the entire fields of surgical pathology and cytopathology in a single source. Its practice-oriented format uniquely integrates these disciplines to present all the relevant features of a particular lesion, side by side. Over 4000 color images depict clinical features, morphological attributes, histochemical and immunohistochemical findings, and molecular characteristics of all lesions included. This edition features new highly experienced and academically accomplished editors, while chapters are written by the leading experts in the field (several new to this edition, bringing a fresh approach). Dr Steven Silverberg's practical approach to problem solving has been carefully preserved. The print book is packaged with access to a secure, electronic copy of the book, providing quick and easy access to its wealth of text and images.

Review :
Review of previous edition: 'It is impressive that anyone can get all of surgical pathology and cytology included in a single text … This book does an excellent job of summarizing all of these topics. The systematic, complete, yet relatively concise approach of this textbook should appeal to a very broad audience indeed.' Advances in Anatomic Pathology Review of previous edition: '… this book will undoubtedly soothe the savaged senses and reassure the ravaged reasoning of those distraught pathologists seeking diagnostic succor with many of the daily dilemmas in the practice of pathology.' American Journal of Surgical Pathology 'For a book that's been in print for 32 years, there's no better testimony to its worth and acceptance than that lengthy record itself. To say that it is an outstanding achievement is probably not sufficient. A more apt description is that it is a monumental contribution to medical knowledge and practice.' Nano Khilnani, Biz India
