Description:

This novel book aims to empower patients with a diagnosis of colorectal or anal cancer and to explain the medical aspects of these important diseases along with strategies for their prevention. The author has demystified the investigative strategies in the management of these conditions and explains in an understandable, user-friendly manner the nature of surgery, (and its different types), as well as what to expect during radiation therapy and chemotherapy. This book is designed both for patients and their families and also describes strategies for screening where there is a higher risk of colorectal cancer development or where there is a family history of colorectal cancer.
