Description: A practical reference for the management of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies and pre-malignant conditions. The high incidence of colorectal cancer coupled with the growing recognition of Barrett's esophagus has led to a growing need for a resource explaining how to screen and manage these and other patients with gastrointestinal neoplasia. This book uses a multidisciplinary approach in presenting the necessary information to optimally manage patients.
