Update Gastroenterology 2005, Gastrointestinal Oncology and Innovative Aspects in Gastroenterology

A BOOK WRITTEN IN ENGLISH
Gastrointestinal oncology is an expanding field which constitutes an important medical, scientific, sociopolitical and ethical challenge.
Our knowledge of the biology, diagnosis and treatment of tumours has developed in recent years.
While spectacular progress has been made regarding certain gastrointestinal tumours, especially oesophageal adenocarcinoma and tumours of the rectum, the same cannot be said of other tumours such as pancreatic carcinoma.
It is generally acknowledged that treating such tumours calls for a multidisciplinary approach.
This postgraduate training course focuses in particular on the latest information available on the treatment of these tumours.
