Review: Colorectal carcinoma is the second leading cause of death from malignancy. This new edition includes new data on the incidence, prevalence, and trends in colorectal carcinoma. It analyses the genetics, mechanisms, and development of colorectal carcinoma and presents results of the latest research and recommendations on the detection, treatment and prevention of malignancies of the colon, rectum and anus. The authors reflect their belief that, with appropriate screening, the disease can be prevented, giving suggestions for screening. The book is divided into three parts: Colorectal disorders; Anorectal disorders; and Minimally invasive surgery.
