Review

"What's best about treatment requires the phyician to fully understand that the editors are conscious of the fact that effective cancer treatment requires the physician to fully understand the far-reaching effects of the disease. To this end, Gastrointestinal Oncology ties together expert opinion from various sub-specialties within the realm of Gastrointestinal Oncology, thus creating a truly authoritative reference that reports on the whole subject-both deeply and elegantly." --The Electric Review

"...Gastrointestinal Oncology is a comprehensive, well-written textbook that covers the spectrum of gastrointestinal cancer: care, prevention, and basic-science discoveries. Clinicians will find this book valuable." --New England Journal of Medicine

"This book offers an excellent source of information on all aspects of malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and hepatobiliary system. Its organization allows for easy use and applicability to every day clinical practice."--Doody's

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 taht 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.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice book!, Oct 22 2008

By Y. FUKITA "POPEYE" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Gastrointestinal Oncology (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.
