In a large proportion of cases, the condition is  attributable to genetic predisposition. Those directly involved in the  treatment of patients with cancer of the large bowel are confronted to  an increasing degree with the genetic aspects of the disease. In  familial and hereditary forms of the disorder periodic screening of  the close relatives of the patients can in principle prevent disease  and death from colorectal cancer. Presymptomatic diagnosis by means of  DNA technology is now possible in many cases of familial adenomatous  polyposis. Genetic diagnosis will be increasingly important for the  identification of high-risk groups.\u003cbr\u003e  This book summarizes those aspects of the genetics of colorectal  cancer that are important for clinical pracice. It has been stated  that clinicians can contribute to the goal of reducing mortality from  cancer by asking each patient about his or her family history of  cancer. The aim of this book is to provide a guideline for the  management of those situations in which the family history of  colorectal cancer is found to be positive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792321002\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 187\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541581033612,"sku":"9780792321002","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792321002","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
