This latest version of "Cecil" delivers a fully integrated approach to the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of virtually every medical condition.

This edition discusses approaches to virtually every medical condition, including pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and outcomes. Cross-referencing clarifies the relationship among organ systems, between infectious agents and organ systems, and between pathophysiology and disease. New to this edition is coverage of aging, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, oncology, preventive health care, evaluation and management, and diseases of protozoa and metazoa.

First released in 1927, the book is one of the most prominent and widely consulted medical textbooks in the United States.[1] Goldman's Cecil Medicine is often compared with Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, which it predates by three decades.[1] Approximately one third of its authors are changed with each new edition.[2] It is currently in its 25th edition. The book has been described as "one of the most outstanding textbooks of medicine ever written".[
