About this book

The rapid growth in the number of options available for the management of colorectal cancer presents the clinician with new opportunities and new complexities. An explosion of understanding in the basic science that underlies both the disease and its potential therapies has translated into remarkable technological advances that can now be applied. So many specialties and subspecialties have now been brought to bear that it is appropriate to attempt to bring the expertise from these areas together in one volume, so that practitioners in one aspect of colorectal cancer management can maintain knowledge and expertise regarding the capabilities of other colleagues working in this disease. Colo rectal Cancer: Multimodality Management provides a concise, focused, and current review of the methodological and technological advances that have recently occurred in the management of colorectal cancer. The book has been divided into six basic parts. The first part, dealing with epidemiology and prevention, focuses on the molecular genetic events that occur in the development of colorectal cancer, as well as on our understanding of dietary and environmental factors, and possible strategies for prevention. Part II focuses on both diagnos­ tic and therapeutic radiology in the management of colorectal cancer, dealing with innumer­ able advances in imaging, and with the progress in the science and art of radiation therapy. The third section deals with the surgical aspects of management of colorectal cancer, starting with surgical pathology.

Reviews

"This is a good book, which contains most of the most recent information an oncologists dealing with colorectal cancer would aim to know and is therefore a very useful addition to every specialized library." - Digestive and Liver Disease

"A team of leading clinical, surgical and radiation oncologists has prepared a highly valuable work, providing full complexity of the latest innovations in the field of colorectal cancer management. The book represents an outstanding work and will be of great interest for medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, gastroenterologists and radiation therapists." -Neoplasma
