SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book offers the latest information on the management of digestive cancer, as presented at the UICC Kyoto International Symposium on Recent Advances in Management of Digestive Cancers. The major fields covered in this book are the epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive cancer. The book provides an overview of the global aspects of digestive cancers in terms of their epidemiology, their increased early detection through the use of newly developed diagnostic tools, and recent advances in their management, including endoscopic and laparoscopic treatment. Reports of newer strategies for treating cancer patients, such as organ transplantation, immuno-guided surgery, computer-assisted surgery, missile therapy, and the inhibition of neovascularization in cancer should also elicit great interest in this book.
