DESCRIPTION
Advances in Surgical Pathology: Colorectal Carcinoma and Tumors
of the Vermiform Appendix, a volume in the Advances in Surgical
Pathology series, features chapters on current and impending changes
in the field with an emphasis on practical issues, recent developments,

during pathologic evaluation of cancer specimens from the lower
gastrointestinal tract, this book contains the latest information regarding
emerging endoscopic techniques that aid in tumor classification and
staging, mechanisms of pathogenesis, and clinical management. It
combines gross and microscopic images and user-friendly tables
for quick reference with a succinct, comprehensive review of issues
important to management of patients with colorectal carcinoma.
Not only does it discuss the applied concern of cancer epidemiology
and prevention, the book also covers pathological features of cancer
precursors. Plus, an introduction to future diagnostic and treatment
modalities, such as biomarker analysis, chemotherapeutic strategies,
targeted molecular therapies, and aggressive multidisciplinary
approaches to patients with advanced stage disease.
