This book is basically a review book on Tumor Pathology intended for undergraduate medical students, but it will also be a handy supplement to postgraduate residents, clinical practitioners and for the students of nursing and allied health profession as well. In any Pathology exam, students can definitely expect a large number of questions on Tumour histology, genetics & gross findings. I started this book with a general discussion on Cancer cells – key points on their genetics, their invasion strategies( pathogenesis) & cellular changes to identify them in the middle of normal cells. After that I discussed individual tumours according to the organ systems where I emphasised on the high yield microscopic/histologic findings& gross findings useful for any Pathology exam.
