Industry Reviews
"This unique book is designed as a consultative source for individuals involved in the care of patients with colorectal cancer and patients at risk due to familial genetic testing. ... Genetics counselors, medical geneticists, surgeons, and oncology specialists would find this book extremely useful. ... One of the most impressive features of this book is the very useful abstract at the beginning of every chapter. ... At the end, there is a section of registries and databases, extremely useful tools." (Luis F. Escobar, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)â
