Contemporary Management of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Precision Medicine Approach summarizes current knowledge and provides evidenced-based practice recommendations on how to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The book presents topics such as pre-operating imaging, the use of molecular markers in treatment decisions, neoadjuvant therapy, synchronous colorectal liver metastasis, and minimally invasive approaches. In addition, it discusses immunotherapy, targeted therapies and survivorship. This is a valuable resource for practitioners, cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and members of biomedical research who need to understand more about novel treatments for colorectal cancer metastasis.
- Summarizes contemporary data in the workup and treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
- Discusses novel patient-centric personalized approaches surrounding the management of such cancer types
- Presents evidenced-based recommendations for precision care among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
