I love these books. It is a great summary of information and the questions with the chapters are very similar to questions you may see on exams or nclex. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Pathophysiology: Reviews & Rationales with CDROM (Paperback)

This book arrived promptly and it was worth the small amount of money spent. My only problem with this book in the series is that this was the only one left at the time of purchase and it is an older addition. This book did not have a section for cancer. In some of the different systems if cancer was common it had a small section about that, but it needed a more detailed chapter for cancer.
