A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide. The number of new cases has increased rapidly in the past 30 years, especially in the western world where it now accounts for over 12% of cancers in men and over 14% in women. Thie ABC is a concise introduction to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of colorectal cancer, and covers important new developments int eh field. Written bt cancer specialists it is aimed at all members of the colorectal cancer team, but particualarly the primary care doctor, who is the first, intermediate and last point of contact for the patient. The highly illustrated chapters cover all of the key areas of patient care and also provide debate around the numerous uncertainties about the disease. Chapters include: Epidemiology Molecular Basis for Risk Factor The Role of Clinical Generics in Management Screening The Role of Primary Care Primary Treatment Adjuvant Therapy Treatment of Advanced Disease Effectiveness of Follow–up. Innovative Treatment for Colon Cancer This book will be invaluable to primary care doctors, but will also be useful reference for all those involved in the care of colorectal cancer patients, including nurses, junior doctors, dieticians and radiographers.

Revue de presse

This short clinical review book of CRC strikes an excellent balance being both concise but with thorough and up–to–date coverage of the subject matter.  The chapters based on their size, layout, and supporting figures are very approachable and I would suspect the book to be very useful to its intended audience of general practitioners and physicians in training. The text would seem to be most useful to those practicing clinical medicine, but could also serve as supplemental reading for those preparing for board–type examinations.   (Gastroenterology, 1 August 2012)

The information in the ABC of Colorectal Cancer is very well presented and the coverage is more than a GP would need in clinical practice.   (Australian Family Physician, 4 April 2012)
