„If multiple authorship is a mark of quality, this book is a must-read. With 189 authors covering the oncology of the gastrointestinal tract from the esophagus to the anus, as well as the pancreas, hepatobiliary system, and peritoneum, the book is comprehensive indeed.“ (The New England Journal of Medicine, March 2009)
„Written by the leading international experts in the field, it sets the standard in clinical practice.“ (Doody's Reviews)
"The book is intended for multidisciplinary meetings dealing with tumors of the digestive system, a worthy objective. This is great book that will hopefully set a standard for a new type of book that reflects today's multidisciplinary approach to gastrointestinal tumors." (Patrick Mosler, MD, PhD, @Doody's Review Service)"The editors of 'Gastrointestinal oncology: a criticalmulti-disciplinary approach' are to be congratulated onbringing together an exceptional array of international experts asauthors of this textbook. Set out in three sections -Gastroesophageal, colorectal and hepatobiliary - and 25chapters it is an encyclopaedia for professionals involved in allaspects of these diseases. Clinicians who wish to find out moreabout the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment andpalliation of gastrointestinal tumours, common or rare, will now beable to turn to a single authoritative textbook."
