Editorial Reviews

Review

"Professor Odze has produced not only an up to date book, but one with an impressive array of colour plates and very readable text. I believe it is going to be a very popular reference book for those reporting gut pathology. I would recommend it for those trainees coming up to part II MRCPath who want an almost exhaustive list of conditions in the gastrintestinal tract and liver, with plenty of pictures to prompt their memory." ACP News - Spring 2004

"There are many things I like about this text. I found the writing to be succinct and lucid and treatment of subjects to be balanced. The editors have created a thorough and comprehensive book, written in a readable style and generously illustrated with many excellent color photographs, charts and tables" -Gastroenterology

"This book deserves the attention of the entire pathology and gastroenterology community at large. Without hestitation I would like to greet it as one of the most impressive new pathology books brought to my attention this year. An absolute must for your sign-out room and departmental library" -Modern Pathology

2.0 out of 5 stars poorly organized with small photographs, April 9, 2004

By A Customer

I would personally not recommend this textbook for the following reasons: The chapters are organized in a confusing way with chapters organized not based on organ but on disease type. Certain chapters are certainly better than others with the liver, pancreas and extrabiliary tract being particulary better than those covering the small and large intestine. The photographs are in certain cases adequate and in others are too small and hard to interpret. Overall, I would not buy this book given the high price but may consider using it as an ancillary text

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written masterpiece, July 15, 2006

By	Prince of Darkness - See all my reviews

This all-in-one textbook of GI pathology is one of the best textbook in the field. There is very few (if not none) textbooks combining GI, pancreas and liver into one volumne. The authors, however, presented with a comprehensive review on the surgical pathology of the three organs and the informations are quite updated. The review on GERD, IBD, neuroendocrine tumors are some of the well-written summary on the current status of the diseases.

This should be useful book for revision by those who are going to sit for exit examinations. It is also useful for practising pathologist in their daily work.
