Surgical Pathology of the GI Tract, Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas
This one-of-a-kind reference provides a comprehensive and practical
guide to help you interpret endoscopic biopsies and resection specimens
of all organs related to the digestive system. Plus, thanks to Expert
Consult, you’ll be able to access the entire contents of this title
online and download all images, from anywhere there’s an internet
connection. The more than 2250 high quality illustrations, 30% more than
in the first edition, help you recognize and diagnose any tissue sample
under the microscope. Five new chapters, additional expert authors,
expanded tables, and coverage of the current clinical approach to
management and treatment options, particularly screening and
surveillance recommendations for preneoplastic disorders, round out this
unique reference.
