This…volume aims to provide an overview of the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of neoplasms of the colon, rectum and anus, which is accomplished in a comprehensively referenced text. It is clearly structured, of a manageable size and extremely well presented with numerous line drawings and operative and endoscopic photographs. -British Journal of Surgery, 2008

In summary, this is a valuable textbook for the practicing colorectal surgeon or surgical oncologist who requires a thorough summary of the literature on colorectal and anal neoplasms. It will be especially useful to the colorectal surgery fellow who is attempting to identify the most important literature in the field. Also, it would be a helpful refrence for the medical or radiation oncologist who is attempting to understand the strategies of his or her surgical colleagues. -American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons
