The Oxford Handbook of Pathology provides a concise, easy to navigate guide to pathology for medical trainees and all non-specialists. With a focus on common and important topics, the handbook starts with basic pathologic principles and then covers diseases by organ system. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field ensuring that the information is accurate and up-to-date. More than 120 colour images are included to aid learning and understanding of pathology. A particular emphasis is placed on tumour pathology including relevant immunohistochemical and molecular information.In this new third edition, updates include revisions to all existing chapters from more expert contributors in the field. There is a particular emphasis on advances in tumour pathology (classifications, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology & staging). A new chapter discusses the technical aspects of histopathology including immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology techniques, while COVID-19 has been added as a new topic in infectious diseases. This handbook continues to be an indispensable resource in the field for all non-specialists including medical students, trainees, nurses, and allied health professionals.

Pathology is a key component of any medical or dental undergraduate's course, yet it is a subject that students often struggle with due to the overwhelming amount of information there is to assimilate in a short space of time. Clinical Pathology provides the ideal solution. The text focuses on aspects of pathology relevant to students and junior doctors, avoiding unnecessary (and often intimidating) detail. The reader is carefully guided through the subject, starting with basic pathological principles, followed by explanations of core diseases in a systems based format. Finally the laboratory aspects of pathology relevant to the newly qualified junior doctor are covered, along with numerous case studies that bring the pathology to life and test one's knowledge. The book seamlessly integrates all pathology disciplines in one sensibly sized volume. The style is purposely informal and friendly, with plenty of interesting insights and thoughts. No knowledge is assumed - problematic terminology is explained in special "jargon buster" boxes, and common areas of difficulty are acknowledged and tackled head on rather than ignored.Clinical Pathology is ideal for medical students on pathology courses and as an accompaniment to medical and surgical attachments. It is also of great value to junior doctors brushing up their basic knowledge for postgraduate exams.
