Colorectal Cancer Screening provides a complete overview
of colorectal cancer screening, from epidemiology and molecular
abnormalities, to the latest screening techniques such as stool DNA and
FIT, Computerized Tomography (CT) Colonography, High Definition
Colonoscopes and Narrow Band Imaging. As the text is devoted entirely to
CRC screening, it features many facts, principles, guidelines and
figures related to screening in an easy access format. This volume
provides a complete guide to colorectal cancer screening which will be
informative to the subspecialist as well as the primary care
practitioner. It represents the only text that provides this up to date

primary practitioner, information on the guidelines for screening as
well as increasing patient participation is presentedd. For the
subspecialist, information regarding the latest imaging techniques as
well as flat adenomas and chromoendoscopy are covered. The section on
the molecular changes in CRC will appeal to both groups. The text
includes up to date information about colorectal screening that
encompasses the entire spectrum of the topic and features photographs of
polyps as well as diagrams of the morphology of polyps as well as
photographs of CT colonography images. Algorithms are presented for all
the suggested guidelines. Chapters are devoted to patient participation
in screening and risk factors as well as new imaging technology. This
useful volume explains the rationale behind screening for CRC. In
addition, it covers the different screening options as well as the
performance characteristics, when available in the literature, for each
test. This volume will be used by the sub specialists who perform
screening tests as well as primary care practitioners who refer patients
to be screened for colorectal cancer.
