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.
