Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US and the third most recently linked to cancer deaths. The national annual incidence rate of colorectal cancer is approximately 148,000+, striking slightly more females than males. The lifetime risk of colorectal cancer is 5-6%, however patients with a familial risk (with two or more first or second degree relatives) make up 20% of the patients. Persons who carry genetic mutations linked to hereditary colorectal cancer are the most likely to develop the disease.

From the reviews: "This comprehensive book details basic scientific knowledge, clinically relevant algorithms, and the historical framework of hereditary colorectal cancer. ... It is written for colorectal specialists, which may include surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and geneticists. ... The book would be an excellent definitive reference for any medical library. ... There is no comparable book, and the information it provides would be very difficult to obtain from other sources in such a well - balanced and complete presentation." (Neal Wilkinson, Doody's Review Service, January, 2011)
