Reviews

This short clinical review book of CRC strikes an excellent balance being both concise but with thorough and up-to-date coverage of the subject matter. The chapters based on their size, layout, and supporting figures are very approachable and I would suspect the book to be very useful to its intended audience of general practitioners and physicians in training. The text would seem to be most useful to those practicing clinical medicine, but could also serve as supplemental reading for those preparing for board-type examinations. (Gastroenterology, 1 August 2012) The information in the ABC of Colorectal Cancer is very well presented and the coverage is more than a GP would need in clinical practice. (Australian Family Physician, 4 April 2012)
