Recensione

From the reviews:

"This book highlights the continuing research progress into the functional relationship between inflammation and the origin of intestinal cancer. ... It highlights the most relevant mechanisms and possible preventive measures. The book ably encapsulates the current thinking in the field. This is aimed at both basic scientists and clinicians interested in this exciting and important translational topic that spans the interests of both those at the bench and those at the bedside. The contributing authors are all credible authorities in the field." (Willem JS de Villiers, MD, PhD, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2008)
