The implementation of the new VCI course curriculum has led to a need for suitable literature for students of Pathology. Pathology serves as a vital link between basic subjects such as anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology on the one hand, and clinical subjects such as surgery, gynaecology, and medicine on the other. Many students of Veterinary Pathology have found it challenging to comprehend the extensive and voluminous books on these subjects without the aid of photographs and illustrations.

The main objective of the Veterinary General Pathology and Oncology is to provide the second-year undergraduate veterinary students with a comprehensive textbook that includes diagrams and photographs. The book is divided into 11 chapters, in line with the new VCI syllabus, and contains salient features of macroscopic and microscopic observations. The text covers general pathology, including information on etiology, cell metabolism, growth, circulation, pigment metabolism, necrosis, concretions, inflammation, and immunopathological alterations. Oncology is also well-described, with illustrations on general aspects of cancer in animals, their specific features, diagnosis, and prognosis, including staging and grading. This book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students in their studies, as well as teachers, field veterinarians, zoo and wildlife veterinarians, livestock and poultry breeders, and farmers, for a better understanding of animal and poultry disease conditions.
