The Lymphatic System in Colorectal Cancer: Basic Concepts, Pathology, Imaging, and Treatment Perspectives</i> provides an in-depth overview on the role of the lymphatic system in the pathogenesis and treatment of colorectal cancer. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the lymphatic system in colorectal cancer, with topics ranging from cancer biology and mathematical modelling to surgical approaches and novel imaging techniques.</p> <p>Lymphatic spread is one of the hallmarks of locally advanced colorectal cancer, and adversely affects prognosis. Nevertheless, the molecular pathogenesis, dynamics, and prognostic significance of lymphatic spread remain poorly understood. At the same time, novel surgical approaches such as complete mesocolic excision and sentinel node identification are being introduced, but their value remains uncertain. Bringing together internationally renown experts, the chapters encompass relevant content to help the reader understand such complex subject in detail.</p> <p>This book is a valuable reference for cancer researchers, oncologists and all those interested in the biology and treatment of colorectal cancer.
