Christopher B. Williams – författare

Translated into seven languages, Cotton and Williams'' Practical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has for the last 25 years been the basic primer for endoscopy around the world, providing clear, clinical and practical guidance on the fundamentals of endoscopy practice, from patient positioning and safety, how to perform different endoscopic procedures, and the latest in therapeutic techniques and advances in technology.

It''s key strength and reason for its popularity is its step-by-step, practical approach, especially with the use of outstanding colour artwork to illustrate the right and wrong ways to perform endoscopy. Add to this the weight and expertise of its author team, led by Peter Cotton and Christopher Williams, and the final result is an essential tool for all gastroenterologists and endoscopists, particularly trainees looking to improve their endoscopic technique.

Joining Peter Cotton, Christopher Williams and Brian Saunders in the seventh edition are two exciting stars in UK and US endoscopy, Adam Haycock and Jonathan Cohen.  New to this edition are:

Approximately 35 high-quality videos illustrating optimum endoscopy practice, all referenced via “video eyes” in the text Self-assessment MCQs to test main learning points  An online clinical photo imagebank to complement the line illustrations, perfect for downloading into scientific presentations  Key learning points in every chapter Much more information on mucosal resection techniques and small bowel endoscopy—for capsule and “deep” enteroscopy The latest recommendations and guidelines from the ASGE, ASG, UEGW and BSG.

Cotton and Williams'' Practical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, seventh edition is fully modernised, masterful as ever, and once again, the number one endoscopy manual for a whole new generation of gastroenterologists and endoscopists.

This is a book about using the best evidence to inform treatment decisions for people with cancer. It is written by oncologists for oncologists, using examples throughout to illustrate key points. The book starts off with a "toolbox" section, written in a way which will help those relatively new to the principles of evidence-based oncology to understand the key issues, and equip them with the basics of how to tell a good study from a bad one. The majority of the book then deals with an evidence-based summary of the common and important cancers in a structured and easy to read format around common patient scenarios and frequently asked questions. Whilst most of the evidence is based on randomised controlled trials, other studies are cited where appropriate eg when discussing adverse events. The unique accompanying book website will contain updates of new chapters and studies as they become available. Written by leading world figures in the evidence-based movement Includes free CD-ROM with PC eBook and sample PDA chapter Methodology of reviewing and appraising evidence discussed in the context of cancer management Clinical sections covering prevention and screening Chapters on treatment of the individual major cancers review the current best available evidence to most frequently asked questions Rigorously structured explicit searches, evidence of efficacy and harms, plus comment around clinical scenarios Free-access update website keeping the text current and live: www.evidbasedoncology.com

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is now mainstream and the focus is now changing from developing new techniques to enhancing the efficiency and quality of fundamental techniques. There are three elements to this agenda: initial training, continuous quality improvement and patient empowerment.

For the first time, the book is accompanied by two CD-ROMs - featuring video and animation of how to perform the techniques. The first CD-ROM covers the upper GI tract and consists of two sections: (1) the background to instruments and how to get set up, and (2) how to perform diagnostic techniques. The second CD-ROM covers diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in colonoscopy. Cotton and Williams'' book has evolved with each new edition to reflect developments in the field of endoscopy over the last 20 years.

This fifth edition draws on the vast experience of the authors and heralds current changes in both endoscopy and publishing.

The emerging ''back to basics'' attitude of endoscopy opinion formers with regard to the teaching of endoscopy has resulted in a more focused table of contents specifically targeted at newcomers to this specialty.
