Integrated Pathology: From Concepts to Diagnosis — Volume 2A: General Pathology and Major Organ Systems: 2

Integrated Pathology: From Concepts to Diagnosis - Volume 2A covers Chapters 1-24: cellular pathology and the major organ systems through to the male genital tract. The companion Volume 2B contains Chapters 25-43 - female genital tract, breast, endocrine, dermatopathology, soft tissue and bone, neuropathology, cytopathology, and applied laboratory pathology.Volume 2A is written for FRCPath candidates, international pathology residents, and early-career consultants. It is calibrated for the FRCPath syllabus and contemporary diagnostic practice without trying to replace Robbins - it occupies a different space.Every chapter is built around five integrated elements: - The Big Picture - a frame that sets the conceptual ground before any detail. - Quick Recall boxes for rapid revision. - Exam Pitfall flags that mark the traps examiners actually set. - Pathologist's Eye sign-out reasoning at the microscope. - International Frameworks blocks consolidating WHO 5th Edition and AJCC 8th Edition standards across every organ system. WHO 5th Edition classifications are integrated wherever applicable - CNS (2021), Urinary and Male Genital (2022), Endocrine (2022), Soft Tissue and Bone (2020), and Breast (2019). AJCC 8th Edition staging is woven through the surgical-pathology chapters. Diagnostic criteria, immunohistochemistry panels, and molecular profiles sit inside the relevant chapter, not in an appendix.Over 300 figures combine open-licence photomicrographs with sixteen original stepwise diagnostic algorithms. The two-volume division of Volume 2 is editorial, not conceptual - the full integrated framework is preserved across the set, and either volume may be used in isolation without loss of conceptual continuity.Volume 2A topics include: cell injury and death - inflammation and repair - haemodynamic disorders - immunopathology - neoplasia - environmental and nutritional pathology - infectious diseases - genetic and developmental disorders - cardiovascular - respiratory - head and neck - gastrointestinal - hepatobiliary and pancreas - renal - male genital tract.Vishal Tayade is Assistant Professor of Pathology at Grant Government Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai. He trained in oncopathology at Tata Memorial Centre and holds Part 1 of the FRCPath. His research and teaching span haematopathology, molecular diagnostics, and surgical pathology.
