Synopsis

Digestive tumors are one of the leading causes of cancer mortality, with their prognosis depending significantly on the stage at which they are detected. Therefore, preventive measures are especially important in individuals with genetic alterations, hereditary syndromes, or premalignant lesions, due to their high risk of developing tumors. However, a lack of knowledge and the absence of a multidisciplinary approach and consistency in assessment and follow-up mean that the population considered “high-risk” is not receiving the care it needs.This manual has been created to help solve these shortcomings and provide the necessary knowledge for optimal care in the field of high-risk digestive tumor consultations.

Key features:

• Addresses the molecular and genetic basis of hereditary predisposition to gastrointestinal and pancreatic cancer, develops the psychological and ethical-legal aspects associated with genetic counseling, and describes the skills necessary to carry out this counseling process.
• Examines recognition of the main cancer predisposition syndromes, their prevention, monitoring and therapeutic management.
• Studies the interpretation of diagnostic tests, especially advanced endoscopic techniques, and the endoscopic and surgical treatment of digestive tumors.
• Prepared by leading experts in the field and taking into account all of the necessary disciplines necessary for managing high-risk digestive tumor consultations.

High-Risk Digestive Tumour Consultations is aimed at any healthcare professional with an interest in digestive oncology (such as gastroenterologists and oncologists), genetic counselling (geneticists) and the doctor-patient relationship (specialists in internal medicine and advanced practice nursing).
