From the reviews: This book covers colorectal cancer in the elderly by reviewing normal physiology in aging patients, preoperative considerations, postoperative management and complications, and interdisciplinary care. ... Practitioners of general surgery, colorectal surgery, surgical oncology, and medical oncology particularly will appreciate this book, as will trainees in these specialties. ... Overall, the book does a nice job of providing a resource for readers who are looking for a focused, easy-to-read treatise on this subject. (John W. Cromwell, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2013)
