For more than 50 years, Sleisenger & Fordtran’s Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease has been the definitive reference for gastroenterology and hepatology physicians, students and trainees, and the broader multi-disciplinary GI care team.

The 12th edition welcomes a new senior editorial team of Drs. Raymond T. Chung, David T. Rubin, and C. Mel Wilcox, and features many improvements and additions.
