Gynaecological and Obstetric Pathology for the MRCOG and Beyond (2nd edition)

This book is an essential guide to practising gynaecologists in steering their way through the complexities of gynaecological and obstetric histopathology. Pathology is also a core MRCOG topic and it is important for the serious examination candidate to have a solid understanding of the subject where it relates to both gynaecology and obstetrics. This textbook is designed to give the candidate just such an understanding. It provides a newly revised, concise text and many helpful colour illustrations and is an excellent knowledge source and guide to revision, written by experts in the field.

Each subject area is conveniently organised around the relevant anatomical structures. There have been major and minor changes in gynaecological pathology since the first edition of the book was written. New coverage includes immunohistochemistry, particularly of tumours, the manner of taking biopsies and several new pathological entities which have been recognise since the original 1998 edition. Recognition of the very early changes of partial and complete molar change in the placenta, and the improvements in, and variety of, treatments for neoplasms are also included, to aid accurate diagnosis and to allow women to benefit from the progress made in treatments. No library should be without this concise, colourful text.
