Pathology - Robbins Pathologic Basis Of Disease 7th Edition

Pathologic Basis of Disease 7^th edition as the first place award winner in the Basic and Clinical Sciences category.  The original author of the book was Dr. Stanley Robbins, who, after four editions of the book, invited Drs. Ramzi Cotran and Vinay Kumar to join him as co-authors.  Upon the deaths of Drs. Robbins and Cotran, Dr. Kumar invited Drs. Abul Abbas and Nelson Fausto, Professor and Chair of the Department of Pathology, to become the authors of the 7th edition.  Drs. Kumar, Abbas and Fausto renamed the book as Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, wrote new chapters and did a complete revision of the book.  Pathologic Basis of Disease has been used by many generations of medical students and has been translated into 11 languages.  Drs. Kumar and Abbas are, respectively, Chairs of the Department of Pathology at the University of Chicago and theUniversity of California , San Francisco . 

In their evaluation of the text, the British Medical Association noted the following: 

“This source offers balanced, accurate and up-to-date coverage of the core topics in human pathology.  Its clinicopathologic orientation highlights the impact of molecular pathology on the practice of medicine.  It integrates clinical and anatomic pathology and discusses laboratory diagnosis of specific disorders."

"It is hard to imagine a pathologist, whether a trainee or consultant who would not benefit from reading or at least referring to this book.  Most older pathologists will possess earlier editions as Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease has been a standard text for many years.  This seventh edition represents the evolution of the best single volume textbook on general pathology and the editors are to be congratulated in having resisted the temptation to overturn the book’s familiar order in the name of innovation.  Instead, they have sympathetically expanded the text, which now includes a phenomenal amount of information.  A particularly welcome development is the chapter on ocular pathology for the generalist and the reorganization of the chapter on infectious diseases taxonomically.  The book has a very broad appeal: it could be read with profit by consultant pathologists, but is still suitable as an undergraduate text for medical students, as it starts from first principles and extends to the limits of knowledge. 

Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease will remain the book of choice for diligent students, who will be inspired by the thorough scientific grounding in pathology that it provides.  UK universities that believe this factual knowledge to be redundant should consider the popularity of Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease in the US, and with practicing diagnostic pathologists in the UK , and think again.”
