Product Description
Review
This book offers an excellent source of information on all aspects of malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and the hepatobiliary system. Its organization allows for easy use and applicability to every day clinical practice. (Doody's Journal )
Product Description
In 74 chapters, Gastrointestinal Oncology brings together a diverse group of specialists to provide the most authoritative, up-to-date and encyclopedic volume currently available on the subject. The first part of this text introduces a series of concepts and topics that are important to gastrointestinal malignancies in general. These topics include epidemiologic principles, prevention, screening, familial GI cancers, developmental and molecular biology, pathobiology, general therapeutic principles, emerging therapies, and palliative care. The second part of the book covers each of the specific cancers affecting the human gastrointestinal tract. These chapters are introduced by state of the art discussions outlining our current understanding of the pathobiology and molecular biology relevant to each cancer. Subsequent sections describe the multidisciplinary management of specific clinical situations. By organizing the treatment-related chapters around clinical scenarios, the reader will readily find the information necessary to effectively manage the complex clinical situations encountered by patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

Very nice book!
22 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover
I am a gastroenterologist practicing in Japan. In this country, the specific book such as "Gastrointestinal Oncology" is very rare. This book is very well written in the field of gastrointestinal cancer. I had learned and enjoyed it. The shortcoming is the references are a little bit old. I'm looking forward to the revised edition.
