This book gathers the contributions of world-leading experts to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in gastro-intestinal oncology. In addition to analyzing scientific data, the book provides immediate applications for everyday clinical work. Among many developments examined are animal models for GI cancers, statistical models for predicting polyp recurrence after polypectomies, concepts for improving public awareness of GI cancers and basic science concepts poised to enter clinical use.
