Robbins Basic Pathology (10th edition)

Brief Introduction

Robbins Basic Pathology is a lighter, manageable version of Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, by the same editor team (commonly known among med students as “Big Robbins”).  By highlighting key pathological processes, such as pathogenesis and morphology, this text focuses more on the pertinent information you need to truly understand human pathology without overwhelming you with unnecessary details. As a first year student, you will learn more about the clinical features of a disease, how to apply that knowledge in a hospital setting and of course, how to prepare for those board exams.

The tenth edition is an important milestone in the life of a textbook. This occasion is a propitious time to look back on the origins of Basic Pathology, which are summed up best by quoting Stanley Robbins from the preface of the first edition (1971):

“Of books as well as men, it may be observed that fat ones contain thin ones struggling to get out. In a sense, this book bears such a relationship to its more substantial progenitor, Robbins Pathology. It arose from an appreciation of the modern medical student’s dilemma. As the curriculum has become restructured to place greater emphasis on clinical experience, time for reading is correspondingly curtailed.…In writing this book, rare and esoteric lesions are omitted without apology, and infrequent or trivial ones described only briefly. We felt it important, however, to consider rather fully the major disease entities.”

Excerpts

Pathology literally translates to the study of suffering (Greek pathos = suffering, logos = study); as applied to modern medicine, it is the study of disease. Virchow was certainly correct in asserting that disease originates at the cellular level, but we now realize that cellular disturbances arise from alterations in molecules (genes, proteins, and others) that influence the survival and behavior of cells. Thus, the foundation of modern pathology is understanding the cellular and molecular abnormalities that give rise to diseases. It is helpful to consider these abnormalities in the context of normal cellular structure and function, which is the theme of this introductory chapter. It is unrealistic (and even undesirable) to condense the vast and fascinating field of cell biology into a single chapter. Consequently, rather than attempting a comprehensive review, the goal here is to survey basic principles and highlight recent advances that are relevant to the mechanisms of disease that are emphasized throughout the rest of the book.
