The gold standard in gastrointestinal pathology textbooks returns

More than 34 million Americans suffer from pathologies of the digestive system, with over 20 million of these disorders chronic. Treatment of these patients is a complex multidisciplinary area of clinical medicine, drawing upon expertise not only from specialist gastroenterologists but also pathologists, immunologists, endoscopists, and more. Morson & Dawson's Gastrointestinal Pathology has long set the standard for pathology textbooks, with its distinctive balance of clinical gastroenterology and pathology. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research in this vital field of medicine, it promises to bring this subject to a new generation of clinicians and pathologists worldwide.

Readers of the sixth edition of Morson and Dawson's Gastrointestinal Pathology will also find:

Contemporary recommendations and guidelines for getting the most out of every pathology specimen and producing the best possible report for managing the patient
Discussions of the evolving applications of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation
A completely new chapter on lymphoid and other tumours of the large intestine
Morson & Dawson's Gastrointestinal Pathology is ideal for gastrointestinal pathologists, general pathologists, gastroenterologists, and any clinicians who work with or in gastrointestinal practice.
