Blends quality research findings with advanced educational techniques in a uniquely comprehensive approach
Written and edited by leading international experts in the field, Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Critical Multidisciplinary Team Approach is an indispensable reference for clinicians, medical practitioners, and trainees involved in the investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal, gastric, intestinal, colonic, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and other gastrointestinal tumors. Drawing on the most current evidence-based knowledge, this comprehensive resource reflects the current care of GI cancer patients, enabling effective clinical decision making and patient management.
Setting the standard in clinical practice, Gastrointestinal Oncology remains the only truly multidisciplinary reference designed for the diverse team of clinicians responsible for different stages of cancer treatment. Specially structured clinical chapters, each representing a different role in the multidisciplinary team (MDT), allow clear presentation and quick reference of the contents. This is supported by a wealth of high-quality color photographs, line drawings, and diagrams.
Now in its second edition, this authoritative reference is fully updated to reflect groundbreaking research in multiple medical fields, including the explorative use of A.I. New sections on palliative care and nutrition are accompanied by new sub-sections on molecular characterization, new targeted small molecule, receptor options, and immunological therapies for each cancer. This edition places renewed emphasis on the most ubiquitous conditions, such as colon cancer, liver cancer, and gastro-esophageal cancer.
Covering the oncology of the entire gastrointestinal tract, Gastrointestinal Oncology: A Critical Multidisciplinary Team Approach is a must-have reference for the entire MDT, including gastroenterologists, hepatologists, GI surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation therapists, interventional radiologists, pathologists, nutritionists, palliative care and specialist nurses, as well as clinical scientists.
The second edition of Gastrointestinal Oncology ‐ A Critical Multidisciplinary Team Approach continues to set a high standard in GI oncology. With contributions from many of the world's top experts and a foreword by a Nobel Laureate, this book is a testament to its significance in the medical community.
Used globally, this edition features a unique multidisciplinary team format, offering a holistic view of GI oncology. The inclusion of summary boxes with key take-home messages and research areas enhances its practicality, making it an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals.
This edition is praised for its comprehensive approach, particularly the addition of crucial topics such as Nutrition for Cancer Prevention, Adjunctive Cancer Care, and Rehabilitation. These sections provide invaluable insights into holistic cancer care, emphasizing the importance of nutrition and rehabilitation in patient recovery and long-term health.
Furthermore, the book's focus on the role of the microbiome in GI cancers is a standout feature. This cutting-edge area of research is explored in depth, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how the microbiome influences cancer development and treatment outcomes.
This book is an essential guide for anyone involved in GI oncology, providing cutting-edge insights and fostering a deeper understanding of this complex field.
