Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting both men and women worldwide. Each year, it accounts for nearly two million cases and one million deaths worldwide. The increasing incidences of morbidity and mortality present a significant global health and economic burden, particularly in low- and middle- income countries. Over the past three decades, substantial advances have been made in screening, our understanding of colorectal carcinogenesis and the genetic basis of the disease, and refinement of surgical and oncological treatments. Advances in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the evolution of adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment, biological therapies, and immunotherapy have significantly improved patient outcomes. Multidisciplinary approaches to managing metastases in the liver, lungs and peritoneum are also contributing to improved survival, even in the advanced stages of the disease.Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Oncology series, the Oxford Textbook of Colorectal Cancer discusses these developments, including exploring emerging advances in research and clinical practice. It examines the role of artificial intelligence in diagnostics and prognosis prediction, and considers the patient as a whole, highlighting the 'third healthcare revolution' and the central contributor of all healthcare professionals involved in the patient pathway, including colorectal nurse specialists.With contributions from internationally renowned experts, this comprehensive, multidisciplinary textbook provides an accessible, evidence-based resource for trainees and established oncologists, surgeons, specialist nurses and pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals involved in colorectal cancer care.

The study of the biology of tumours has grown to become markedly interdisciplinary, involving chemists, statisticians, epidemiologists, mathematicians, bioinformaticians, and computer scientists alongside biologists, geneticists, and clinicians. The Oxford Textbook of Cancer Biology brings together the most up-to-date developments from different branches of research into one coherent volume, providing a comprehensive and current account of this rapidly evolving field.Structured in eight sections, the book starts with a review of the development and biology of multi-cellular organisms, how they maintain a healthy homeostasis in an individual, and a description of the molecular basis of cancer development. The book then illustrates, as once cells become neoplastic, their signalling network is altered and pathological behaviour follows. It explores the changes that cancer cells can induce in nearby normal tissue, the new relationship established between them and the stroma, and the interaction between the immune system and tumour growth. The authors illustrate the contribution provided by high throughput techniques to map cancer at different levels, from genomic sequencing to cellular metabolic functions, and how information technology, with its vast amounts of data, is integrated with traditional cell biology to provide a global view of the disease. The effect of the different types of treatments on the biology of the neoplastic cells are explored to understand on the one side, why some treatments succeed, and on the other, how they can affect the biology of resistant and recurrent disease. The book concludes by summarizing what we know to date about cancer, and in what direction our understanding of cancer is moving.Edited by leading authorities in the field with an international team of contributors, this book is an essential resource for scholars and professionals working in the wide variety of sub-disciplines that make up today's cancer research and treatment community. It is written not only for consultation, but also for easy cover-to-cover reading.

The outcome for children with cancer has shown enormous improvement since the first edition of this book was published in 1975. In economically privileged countries, overall survival rates have now reached 80% at five years from diagnosis, and most of these young people will become long term survivors. The Oxford Textbook of Cancer in Children offers state-of-the-art descriptions of the approach needed for the optimal management of children with cancer, and guidance on current treatments available due to the advances made over the past decade.This seventh edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, including brand new chapters on cancer immunotherapy in children, and cancer in adolescents and young adults, plus expanded treatment of tumours of the brain and central nervous system. The book primarily provides clear and up-to-date clinical guidance for use in treatment settings whilst offering a useful background to the biology of individual tumour types and the history of the development of specific treatments. With an international and multi-disciplined authorship comprising of paediatric oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, imaging specialists, psychologists, nurses, and many others, the text illustrates how the paediatric oncology community works globally and collaboratively in order to drive forward new therapies, build our knowledge of these diseases, and achieve the common aim of curing childhood cancer. In this new edition, Professors Biondi and Caron have been joined by Professor François Doz, who has a distinguished international reputation, particularly in the treatment of childhood brain tumours and retinoblastoma, as well as early drug development. They have also been joined by Professor Tom Boterberg, a world renowned radio-oncologist for children with cancer. This book will be of value to paediatric oncologists, trainee paediatric oncologists, paediatric haematologists, and other professionals working in paediatric oncology: nurses, AHPs, surgeons, and clinical oncologists.
