Product Description
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.

  • Acts as a one-stop resource for the entire gastrointestinal system, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas.
  • Incorporates over 2250 high quality color illustrations so you can recognize and diagnose any tissue sample under the microscope.
  • Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate.
  • Simplifies complex topics and streamlines decision-making using extensive tables, graphs, and flowcharts.
  • Helps you avoid diagnostic errors thanks to practical advice on pitfalls in differential diagnosis.


  • Uses a new "road map" at the beginning of each chapter, as well as a new, more clinical focus to help you navigate through the book more quickly.
  • Reflects the latest classification and staging systems available so you can provide the clinician with the most accurate and up-to-date diagnostic and prognostic indicators, including key molecular aspects of tumor pathology.
  • Includes access to the entire contents online, from anywhere there's an internet connection.

  • Discusses the key molecular aspects of tumor progression and risk assessment in all chapters that cover neoplastic disorders.

Reviews


4 stars due to a major inconvenience
This book is one of the best in the field of GI/Liver Pathology. However, there is a major inconvenience, for which I removed one star from an otherwise perfect score. The inconvenience is caused by deliberate omission of the references in the end of each chapter. This causes a lot of frustration to readers who wish to explore the originating articles. I sincerely hope they would change this in the next release.

The must for GI-liver pathology
This book is awesome. I really enjoy reading it. Updated details and all summary tables are very helpful.
Also you will love the online version. Pictures and references are also available online. You can even get the full-text articles from references online. Is that great? Imagine, having access to all those selected articles for free!!!

One of the most complete reference GI pathology texts out there.
Personally, I have found this book to be one of the most complete and comprehensive GI pathology textbooks out there on the market now. I love it because it also covers the liver, pancreas and biliary tract, making it the prefect one-stop, one volume GI textbook. I will say that at times the pictures are not the largest but the quality is excellent....just my thoughts.

Surgical Pathology of the GI Tract, Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas: Expert Consult: Online and Print
Excellent customer and shipping service from the seller and the book itself is a fantastic textbook in the GI pathology.

A must-have for all pathology residents and practicing pathologists
Everything you need to know about gastrointestinal pathology is in this book and it's really complete. Every entity is discussed from the most common to the rarest ones and accompanied by representative pictures. The differential diagnosis is well discussed and in this regards, lots of tables have been added from the previous edition. You just can't go wrong with this book as a pathology resident, gastrointestinal fellow or practicing pathologist. The fact that you can access the text, references and images online is awesome!
