Digestive System Malignancies provides an up-to-date overview on the most relevant diagnostic techniques, staging of malignancies, and current therapeutic modalities for digestive system malignancies. With coverage from esophageal, gastric and pancreatic cancers, to colon, anal and peritoneal surface, this reference offers a wide-ranging guide to malignancies throughout the digestive system. The use of engaging infographics provides an "at-a-glace" perspective on the subject, allowing users to retain a large amount of information without scrolling through large text or complex algorithms. This is an important reference for clinicians, surgeons, medical students and scientists that need a quick reference on digestive system malignancies.
