Robbins, Cotran & Kumar Pathologic Basis of Disease

Robbins, Cotran & Kumar Pathologic Basis of Disease, 11th Edition, is a pathology textbook that provides systematic coverage of human diseases alongside their cellular and molecular mechanisms. Written for medical students, pathology residents, researchers, academic faculty, and practicing pathologists, this work connects underlying biological processes directly to clinical disease manifestations.

The volume organizes general and systemic pathology topics across 29 focused chapters. Initial chapters cover foundational processes such as cell injury, cell death, cellular adaptations, inflammation, tissue repair, hemodynamic disorders, shock, immunopathology, and neoplasia. Subsequent chapters address infectious, environmental, and nutritional diseases, organ system pathology, and clinicopathologic correlations.

To aid learning, the text structures disease entities logically from initial pathogenesis through morphological changes to clinical features. Selected as an Essential Purchase in Pathology for the 2026 Doody's Core Titles, the book supports medical students mastering core concepts, pathology residents advancing their training, and faculty guiding academic instruction.
