While previous books on the topic have primarily focused on the genetic, molecular and pathological basis for these syndromes, there is a lack of information for busy physicians regarding the clinical management of hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes and colorectal cancer occurring in the familial setting.
The editors of this book have been fortunate to have received contributions from a multinational panel of expert clinicians who specialise in the clinical management of such individuals. They are extremely indebted to their generous contributions.
The Authors envisioned this book to be a leading manuscript and reference tool for those caring for patients and families of those with hereditary and familial colorectal cancer.
They hope to have achieved their aim to consolidate the current best practice and present it in a concise manner and see it as a crucial addition to current literature available.
While principally aimed at medical professionals, they trust that it will be of interest to genetic counsellor and nursing colleagues, as well as all those affected by the conditions described herein.
