"This short clinical review book of CRC strikes anexcellent balance being both concise but with thorough andup-to-date coverage of the subject matter. The chapters basedon their size, layout, and supporting figures are very approachableand I would suspect the book to be very useful to its intendedaudience of general practitioners and physicians in training. Thetext would seem to be most useful to those practicing clinicalmedicine, but could also serve as supplemental reading for thosepreparing for board-type examinations." (Gastroenterology, 1 August 2012)
"The information in the ABC of Colorectal Cancer is verywell presented and the coverage is more than a GP would need inclinical practice." (Australian FamilyPhysician, 4 April 2012)
