Colorectal Cancer: Diagnosis and Clinical Management
provides colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists and oncologists
with an authoritative, practical guide to best practice in the
diagnosis and clinical management of colorectal cancer.
Covering all forms of treatment including surgery, chemotherapy
and radiotherapy, it examines the various new and emerging
therapies, new strategies for screening and prevention, as well as
the latest guidance on the most challenging and controversial
aspects of managing colorectal cancer.
The authors present important information on:
* Controversies in adjuvant chemotherapy
* Long versus short course radiotherapy
* Minimally invasive surgery and robotics
* Radical colonic resection
Each chapter contains key points, tips and tricks and clinical
case studies to aid rapid browsing and knowledge of the basic
principles, while self-assessment questions allow readers to test
their clinical knowledge.
With leading international surgeons, gastroenterologists and
oncologists combining to offer their considerable wealth of
expertise and knowledge, Colorectal Cancer is a
well-balanced, indispensable resource for all those involved in
colorectal cancer management.
