The 'Recent Advances' series from the Royal Society of Medicine Press provides timely reviews on current topics of interest to its audience, and the histopathology titles are eagerly awaited by trainees and Consultants alike. 'Recent Advances' used to be one of the key texts for trainees preparing for the MRCPath Part 1 exam, when it was said that essay questions were chosen by examiners from this book! Although the format of the Royal College of Pathologists Part 1 examination has changed from essays to multiple choice questions, the range of current interest topics presented here will still appeal to trainees, and they should still turn to 'recent advances' in preparation for their exam.

The Royal Society of Medicine Press is delighted to publish Recent Advances in Histopathology 21, which is part of the successful and well established Recent Advances series (previously published by Churchill Livingstone).

This book provides a comprehensive update of key topics in histopathology for those preparing for postgraduate exams in pathology as well as practicing histopathologists seeking an update in their own and related specialties. Topics range across all areas of histopathology, and the book contains some colour illustrations.

This book has become essential reading for candidates preparing for the MRCPath examination.
