Provides detailed coverage of etiology, pathogenesis, classification, and clinical staging

Focuses in particular on state of the art treatment techniques, ranging from endoscopic mucosal resections or limited surgical resections to multimodality treatment options

Discusses molecular response prediction, early metabolic response evaluation, the diagnosis of micrometastases, and the use of sentinel node technology

Includes supplementary material: [...]
