Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book centers on rectal cancer, its medical history, and the evolution of its treatment across time. From the early belief that growths in the rectum were hemorrhoids, to the present understanding of both its cancerous nature and variations in its severity, this book traces our pr…ogress toward the amelioration of a painful and debilitating disease. The author offers not only a record of treatments that have fallen by the wayside, such as cauterizing and snipping off perceived hemorrhoids, but also an in-depth analysis of surgical advancements, many of which were pioneered by the author himself. Throughout the book, a particular focus is placed on the most critical factor in determining treatment and prognosis: the distinction between a growth limited to the rectal lining and one which has spread into the surrounding rectal tissues. This distinction, not fully appreciated until the later 20th century, is crucial in predicting the likelihood of local recurrence and dictates whether surgical removal should be attempted. The insights into the critical nature of this distinction offer hope that the burden of rectal cancer might be lightened for future patients. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
