This book compiles compiles articles from cancer researchers who strive to explore every opportunity to develop better diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies for cancer. The presentations outline recent research findings on colon cancer and their clinical implications of interest to gastroenterologists, oncologists, and basic scientists active in clinical research. The authors place emphasis on new insights that either have the potential for clinical applications or are already being utilized in experimental clinical approaches. Papers are contributed by experts from eight countries and from several scientific and clinical disciplines, including molecular genetics, bio-chemistry, immunology, internal medicine, gastroenterology, and pathology.
Contributors include Christoph Hanski, Steven H. Itzkowitz, Ian Tomlinson, Jurgen Behrens, Wolfgang G. Ballhausen, C. Richard Boland, Jeremy R. Jass, Gabriela Moslein, Ruth Krause-Paulus, R. Hegger, G. Peterschulte, and T. Vogel.
