The place of chemotherapy in treatment of gastro-intestinal cancers

What is the role of chemotherapy, used with or without radiotherapy, to treat some cancers, notably of the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas and anal passage?

What multidisciplinary therapy is best for localised stomach cancer or a colorectal cancer that has spread?

What polychemotherapy gives the best results in terms of survival or quality of life for a person with gastro-intestinal cancer?

This book will help all doctors treating gastro-intestinal cancer patients to choose the best chemotherapy strategy, which will be most effective as part of a multidisciplinary approach combining surgery and radiotherapy.
