2015 BMA Medical Book Awards: Highly Commended in Pathology
"This book is even shorter than before. That is really impressive. I cannot but admire this book, which I keep re-reading since I entered Pathology in 1966. Wow, it shows that even a first class book can be improved – hard to believe but true. It is very readable and even funny in some places. The text is nicely laid out and the book looks less bulky than the previous edition. The illustrations are excellent. Even though the book is definitely for the new generations, I am sure that it will be welcomed by senior pathologists trying to keep up with the times – I doubt that I am the only old timer eager to re-read it." ~Ivan Damjanov, MD, PhD, author of Pathology Secrets and Pathophysiology
They point out that for this edition, they have “gone one step further. They have added a chapter entitled The Cell as a Unit of Health and Disease at the very beginning of the book. The study of the cell – including its functions, and the changes to it at anytime – is critical to understanding any particular disease in a patient. All diseases originate in the cell. The materials presented in each chapter are superbly organized. Each chapter begins by presenting, at the top just below its title, the main topics and subtopics covered in it. Discussions of the topics and subtopics follow, with numerous full-color illustrations and detailed captions. At the end of each chapter, more information is available to you in the Suggested Readings section. This is one of the most comprehensive textbooks on one of the most basic and core disciplines in medicine: pathology. With nine editions so far, this book provides a lot of current pathologic developments. It also presents updated information in molecular biology, disease classifications, new drugs and drug therapies, just to name a few important areas for physicians.
This book is also a bestseller among medical and allied professionals, as evidenced from its very high rank on Amazon. I would say that every physician should have this book in his or her medical library, particularly because of the online resources available to purchasers of this book. ~Nano Khilnani

Review: I just opened this book and I am pretty much in love...looks like a great reference for the medically minded! I am a DPT and can tell this is way more user friendly than my Porth from Undergrad Pathophysiology and Kandel's Neuroscience- bought for "fun" wanting to learn more about Neuroscience. I anticipate I could actually read the Robbins cover-to-cover...this is not going to happen for me with Kandel...thought it could and I made it through 90 pages and had to skip to things I could see as being relevant like Neurotransmitters. This edition is copyright 2015 so while it is not YouTube, I am expecting it to be pretty up to date and I look forward to comparing to my old Porth Copyrighted 2005!

Review: This is the definitive pathology textbook for medical students, but is also an excellent resource for residents and faculty in pathology. It incorporates basic knowledge and patterns of cellular and tissue response to injury, inflammation, the basis of neoplasia, and organ specific pathology. It also incorporates new molecular mechanisms as we continue to learn more about the underlying basis of disease. It is not enough to just learn this book for a career in pathology, but all other pathology texts build off of the foundation of this one. It is also useful for those in the basic sciences who wish to get some clinical insight to whole body or cellular pathophysiology.

Title: .0 out of 5 stars THE BEST choice
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015
Review: I needed to have a more current edition for my overall practice and teaching even tho I have used the Robbins handbooks and other authors but I returned to ROBBINS for 1 primary reason. I read the comment by a pathologist who first had his edition in 1960s. I read, with interest, his comments and decided at that moment that my ROBBINS regular text version needed to be ordered. I am glad I did. It is "that and more" of what the pathologist noted of his reading experience. I have been in healthcare now for 32 years as a physician and 40 in EMS. Robbins IS the text.

Review: Classic Textbook, covering the essentials of Pathology, at the core of medical school organ systems basic science and the basis for understanding much of medicine. Useful to go over after finishing the required textbook for each organ system block. There is slightly different coverage in Rubin's Clinicopathological Foundations of Medicine. There is an excellent casebook included in the expertconsult version of Robbins and Cotran; I don't know if the studentconsult version contains it as well.

Review: When i read hard cover, i think in hard cover.
This is not hard cover, is soft, i was very dissapointed. i Know ¨hard copy¨ means you have literally the book in your hands(not kindle edition or whatever), But ¨hard cover¨ means the thick carton cover. Othearwise the book and content looks great, i notice typos erros in first pages. I will Update later.
