Covers everything from principles of oncogenesis and pathology of GI cancers, to principles of patient care and future perspective, to miscellaneous cancers and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Strict organisation and the inclusion of screening and follow-up sections place this title above its peers for its practicality and focus on clinical practice, and provides a wealth of easily accessible, authoritative information.
