The reputation of this indispensable textbook is again sustained by this new edition. It is very readable, comprehensive and well organized. The quality, size and layout of the images are excellent and the typeset is well done. All major tumor entities are thoroughly discussed and lesser-known tumors are also given adequate treatment. More recently described entities (example, mammary analog secretory carcinoma of the salivary gland) are also covered in exceptional detail. Furthermore the book typically honors the WHO nomenclature and classifications throughout (e.g. "carcinoma" of the breast rather than "ductal carcinoma." See also the section on bronchioloalveolar carcinoma of the lung).As with any multi-authored textbook there are differences in the quality of each chapter. For example, there is a palpable difference in the quantity and quality of photomicrographs between cardiac tumors (chapter 2) and tumors of the biliary tree (chapter 10). Such a large undertaking invariably taxes the eyes of any editor and typos still exist even in this edition--though I've not found anything major I didn't have to read past page 8 to find the first typo. Another artifact of the multi-authored nature of this book is the division of chapters. For example, tumors of the exocrine pancreas and the endocrine pancreas are in different chapters. There is not a single chapter on tumors of the pancreas. Though perhaps that's more a product of the editorship rather than the authorship.Fletcher's introductory chapter is insightful and appreciated.The addition of expertconsult access to this edition is, of course, convenient and now an expected standard in medical textbooks. However, as my final complaint, the binding of this massive tome is cheaper and less attractive than the previous edition of this text. But that, too, has become an expected standard in printed books.This book will not replace a general surgical pathology book (such as Rosai) because non-tumor entities are only mentioned in Fletcher when they fall into the differential diagnosis of tumors. However, this book should be standard reading for every pathologist and pathology resident.
Fletcher did it again, this is a great book on tumorpathology. Read it, use it and read it again. This is a must read. This book has had profund effect on the way I Think about surgical tumor pathology.The charter about thyroid, lymphoma, female genitals and salivary gland is absolut weltklaase.
Elsevier, in collaboration with Inkling, has crippled online access to this reference. Until February, 2014, Elsevier's ExpertConsultBook online reference books have been fantastic - easy to navigate, intuitive to search across your titles, and efficient to use. Elsevier has shut that down and replaced it with Inkling's clumsy e-book reader. Easy to read. Not easy to use as online reference to find answers to particular diagnostic problems.With ExpertConsult/Inkling you can no longer search across your purchased books at one go. You have to open and search within each book individually. Open your online book and you get three columns: a navigation column with list of chapters, a reading column, and a notes column (wasting valuable screen space). You have to click the search icon to get a text entry box. Search results are then replace the index in the navigation column, 10 at a time, 4-5 visible on a typical computer screen. To review your search results you have to scroll down through the first 10, then click next, then scroll down through the next 10, then click next, ten at a time. The contexts of individual search results are obscure. It shows a little text where your search term appears, but not which chapter or section it is in. Figures (often lots of them) are included in your results list. Individual search results are headed with figure numbers (not captions, not chapter or section heading) or sub-section titles. Even in the reading pane you can't see chapter and section titles, so you don't know what part of the book you're in. You are limited to linear access through the book - with links to previous and next sections at the top and bottom of the reading pane. To get to the next sub-section you have to scroll down to the bottom of the current sub-section. In order to navigate the index to different chapters or sections you have to exit your search results to get back the index pane.
Absolutely great reference in tumor pathology. Beautifully illustrated, authoritative, informative. Personally I would not bother purchasing individual volumes on specific organ tumor classifications. When in my opinion, this has so much to offer. It's like one stop shopping great for those just starting out in pathology.
Very good book with updated information in oncologyic pathology. The new edition is well updated with detailed molecular studies and morphologic descriptions.
Really good, thanks a lot, quick and cleanMore than met my expectationsI do recommend itBuy without hesitation
Fantastic two volume book. Very easy to navigate and read. The differential diagnosis and immuno pannels are especially helpful. I like the online version I can look at on my ipad too.
My best book! Unique book in the matter. A must to read for students, clinicians and pathologist. And the on-line consult is great.
