Colorectal cancers are amongst the most common tumour types in the western world. In over 50% of cases the tumour spreads, and in most of these the survival time is between 6 and 12 months. An important new book in the field, Challenges in Colorectal Cancer focuses on the areas of controversy in the management of this disease and reviews the latest information on: * Epidemiology and prevention of colorectal cancer, including the application of molecular genetics, and the latest strategies for screening* Surgical management, including new laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques, and the role of the pathologist* Oncological management, including the role of radiotherapy, options for chemotherapy and new developments in vaccines and immunotherapy. Challenges in Colorectal Cancer provides an essential source of information for the gastrointestinal surgeon, gastroenterologist and oncologist.
