Download or read book Colorectal Cancer written by Kees Welvaart and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1980-10-31 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the proceedings of a successful Boerhaave International Symposium on colorectal cancer held at the University of Leiden, 6-9 June, 1979. I would like to offer grateful thanks to the eminent clinicians and scientists who contributed both to the Symposium and to this book. Colorectal cancer is a very common form of malignancy, particularly in the Western world, and there have been a number of recent developments in the management of this condition. This book has attempted to collate informa tion on the current methods of investigation and treatment and I believe that it will prove valuable to all those interested in oncology. The contents range widely, covering the entire field from epidemiology through screening methods, diagnostic approaches and therapy of both primary and secondary disease. Perhaps the most outstanding new areas discussed and reflected in the proceedings are the possible range and scope of screening techniques, the new possibilities both in treatment and in endoscopic surgery now available as a result of developments in fibre-optic endoscopy, and new approaches and important parameters in staging of the disease.

Download or read book No Excuse Save Your Life written by Joseph Weiss and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorectal cancer screening, as many areas of health care, would benefit by having a more knowledgeable public. Knowledge may lead to greater compliance, accuracy, safety, and cost reductions. It literally is a very important matter of life, health, wealth, and death.In the US there are over 140,000 new cases and more than 51,000 deaths every year. Colon polyps often precede colorectal cancer and with screening can frequently be removed preventing the cancer from ever developing. If cancer is discovered by screening the cure rate exceeds 90% when found early. Colorectal cancer screening is a $15 billion dollar a year industry where patient safety and care is often secondary to financial interests.While colonoscopy has value, its promotion as the 'gold standard' of colorectal cancer and polyp screening is in error. The significant limitations of colonoscopy, that frequently result in missed opportunities to prevent or cure cancer, are clearly addressed. Women require a different approach than men, and have been grossly underserved with the present approach to screening. This can be corrected with simple and effective non-invasive measures to enhance accuracy and safety. This alternative is underutilized because of financial considerations that promote colonoscopy. The scientific evidence based recommendations will result in billions of dollars of cost savings by avoiding unnecessary colonoscopies, and the tragedy of lost opportunities to prevent and cure cancer when colonoscopy is the only test relied on.The book takes a critical look at the glaring gaps in the present colorectal cancer and polyp screening programs that could be corrected with the ease of noninvasive screening tests, the avoidance of unnecessary colonoscopy, enhanced safety, and with significant cost savings. Potentially life saving, clearly written, accurate, and highly informative, this book may well be the best investment the reader ever made.
