This is a reference text for pathologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons. The third edition of "Gastrointestinal Pathology" has been considerably revised and expanded to include important new advances and the list of contributors now contains four new authors. Amongst the advances are the new insights into the aetiology of epithelial and lymphoid neoplasia which have resulted from the use of monoclonal antibody probes, and the greater awareness of the importance of bacterial and viral pathogens in the development of inflammatory disorders. Completely new sections include those on the pathology of the peritoneum and mesentery, and the practicalities of examination and reporting of specimens. The relevance of cytodiagnosis is emphasised by its incorporation into relevant sections.
