<:st> The 8th edition is suggested for initial purchase by Brandon/Hill. Rosai (National Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy and Weill Medical College of Cornell U., New York), with the help of contributing authors for five of the chapters, has carried out a monumental task in compiling a new edition of this textbook and reference (Ackerman passed away in 1993). After initial chapters discussing gross and special techniques, the subsequent 28 chapters are devoted to the specialities, including those for skin, oral cavity and oropharynx, mandible and maxilla, respiratory tract, mediastrinum, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissues, spleen, and ear. Each chapter includes color illustrations of gross and microscopic views and exhaustive bibliographies. Appendices contain current guidelines in quality control and methods for handling specimens, ADASP position papers, tumor staging, and standardized methods for reporting. All of the illustrations are presented in slide format on the included CD-ROMs.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

About the Author
Juan Rosai, MD, Chairman, Department of Pathology, National Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy; Professor, Department of Pathology, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY Rating 4.5
The resident's best friendI read the previous edition and the current one... I found that it is a change from the better to the best. Rosai's surgical pathology is the only dependable text and the easiest to read and review book for the pathology residents. It is not comparabale to the other surgical pathology books because ..simply..it is the best. I realy advise it to the pathology residents and consultants. Rosai or Sternberg? Pick Rosai.Unless you plan on purchasing both Rosai and Sternberg, most people at some point decide which one to buy. Since both are roughly the same price and the same length with the same amount of illustrations, it can be difficult to decide. Here is my take. If you're a resident, you'll probably prefer Sternberg because it is easier to read and has better charts and review tables. If you're an older resident or pathologist, Rosai is more comprehensive and thorough, although more laborious to read. Either way, you can't really go wrong as long as it doesn't just collect dust on the shelf. This book truly is excellent and you will not be disappointed if you choose Rosai.TIMELESS AND OUTSTANDINGA benchmark bench reference book for established and trainee pathologists: an histopathology trainee's bible. It is timeless and outstanding. Editors are bang up-to-date and move with the times. See something new down your microscope and can't put your finger on it? It is in Rosai's book. CDRom enclosed. |
