“This is a nice book for practitioners treating patients with rectal cancer. The initial information provides a solid foundation upon which the book builds as it progresses. The chapters are very focused, complete, and have nice illustrations. Those looking for a one-stop resource on this subject will find this is to be an excellent option.” (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, July 05, 2019)
