The best medical pathology text in the market. It is a complete text that is unsurpassed for pathology. Although it is large it is easy reading inside and gives you a full understanding. If you want to learn medicine, read it!

Being a second year medical student, the only text that my instructors seem to know about is Robbins. Robbins is a nice text I do admit, but I find it lacking in clarity and compact to the point of confusion. Anderson's (while I admit, comes in 2 volumes and weighs 20 pounds it seems) explains all! It fills in all the gaps (which I much admit are large) which Robbins creates. A nice feature of this text is an abundance of gross pictures, simple charts that list different tumor locations and their incidences, and the highlights of molecular biology without telling minutiae like the particular part of a chromosome arm that a gene is located on. I'm only getting started! In summary, if you're a pathology resident or medical student who wishes to clear a great mist of confusion surrounding pathology, then get this text! Not only will you learn pathology, but you'll increase your upper body strength carrying around this great tome!

This is a great book for pathology residents (and other medical specialties). Although an updated edition is needed - it is still a great foundation.
