Colorectal cancer: from pathogenesis to prevention?

The data available on colorectal carcinogenesis has grown to such an extent that a new, critical analysis has become necessary. This volume gives such a summary of recent knowledge on the epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. Each chapter is written by an outstanding expert i...
