"Colorectal Cancer: From Prevention to Patient Care" ed. by Rajunor Ettarh

This volume, organized in five sections, represents a synopsis of the significant efforts from scientists, clinicians and investigators towards finding improvements in different patient care aspects including nutrition, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies with the addition of some novel therapeutic approaches, and prevention.

For scientists involved in investigations that explore fundamental cellular events in colorectal cancer, this volume provides a framework for translational integration of cell biological and clinical information.
Clinicians as well as other healthcare professionals involved in patient management for colorectal cancer will find this volume useful.
