Emphasizing the important role the gastrointestinal pathologist
now plays in patient management, Morson and Dawson’s
Gastrointestinal Pathology, 5th Edition, is a
comprehensive resource for both training and practice. This
revision of a ‘gold standard’ textbook reflects current
practice, where the abundance of surgical specimens and the
revolution in endoscopy has made virtually the entire
gastrointestinal tract accessible to biopsy.
Generations of practitioners valued Morson and Dawson’s
candid guidance, highly readable text, and abundant, high-quality
illustrations. This edition preserves those popular features and,
to add an international dimension, now includes authors from North
America, the European continent, Asia, and Australia. Authors write
on their areas of expertise, with chapters organized into seven
major parts:
* Oesophagus
* Stomach
* Small Intestine
* Appendix
* Large Intestine
* The Anal Region
* Peritoneum
Each part opens with a chapter on normal anatomy, dissection,
and relevant histology. The following chapters describe the
morphology, pathogenesis, and aetiology of specific disorders and
incorporate developments in molecular pathology and
immunohistochemistry. A concluding chapter in each part summarizes
miscellaneous conditions of that organ. More than 700 colour images
throughout the text illustrate the discussion. An associated
website contains all the figures for easy downloading into
presentations.
With outstanding contributions from the world’s leading
gastrointestinal pathologists and a wealth of new information,
Morson and Dawson’s Gastrointestinal Pathology,
5th Edition, will serve a new generation of
gastrointestinal pathologists, gastroenterologists, and
pathologists as the definitive reference for the field.
