“This unique book is designed as a consultative source for individuals involved in the care of patients with colorectal cancer and patients at risk due to familial genetic testing. … Genetics counselors, medical geneticists, surgeons, and oncology specialists would find this book extremely useful. … One of the most impressive features of this book is the very useful abstract at the beginning of every chapter. … At the end, there is a section of registries and databases, extremely useful tools.” (Luis F. Escobar, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2018)
