Review :
"The text is extremely well references and well illustrated and provides a worthwhile edition to the library of all workers in the field." Colorectal Disease, 2007 "A good book looking at the total management of patients with this condition and aimed at the entire medical team caring fro those with colorectal cancer." Digestive and Liver Disease, 2007 From a review of the first edition: “More knowledge of molecular biology, better definition of risk groups, better screening, further development of risk- oriented combination therapy, and more meticulous surgery may yield much higher cure rates for colon and rectal cancer. Scholefield’s book is one of the best starting points for a journey through the world of established, new, and evolving treatments for these diseases.” New England Journal of Medicine, September 2000 "Robert W Beart, Jr., states in the foreword that this book provides an "up-to-date record of the rapidly evolving alternatives" in chapters which span the gamut from prevention through palliation. It is written for subspecialist physicians, nurses, and other members of the medical team. The emphasis throughout is providing this team with concrete, useful information. Although the authors are predominantly from the U.K., European and American issues are identified throughout." (Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA, @Doody's Review Service)
