which prevention, screening and early detection are vital.
Beginning with the patient perspective and following the patient
pathway, this new second edition covers epidemiology and
prevention, screening programmes, decision support networks, the
role of primary care, and supportive care for patients with
colorectal cancer.
The ABC of Colorectal Cancer provides the core knowledge
on clinical genetics, diagnosis, imaging, therapy and surgery
options and the latest evidence based guidelines for treating and
managing colorectal cancer patients within the multidisciplinary
team. Highly illustrated and accessible, it covers the full
spectrum of the disease to provide the basis to make a real
difference to clinical management.
This is an invaluable practical guide for the non-specialist on
all aspects of colorectal cancer, and is ideal for general
practitioners, junior doctors, nurses and allied health
professionals.

"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)
