Atlas of Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Associated Intestinal Cancer: Examining the Macroscopic Images of Small and Large Intestine

This book is structured in three major parts and the first part is a comprehensive overview of IBD-related intestinal cancer. The second and third parts provide rare and important cases on ulcerative colitis (UD) and Crohn’s disease (CD) presenting the macroscopic image of the resected specimen and analyzing the endoscopic and the pathological image  to explain how to find the IBD cancer. It also delivers a detailed analysis of the histological structure of cancers. This book tries to clarify the critical but yet to be answered questions such as “Why is it so difficult to find out?”, “Why so flat?” and “How to name superficial lesion with invisible margin?” and so on.

Atlas of Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Associated Intestinal Cancer is designed to serve all endoscopists and gastroenterologists managing IBD patients. It also is valuable reading for pathologists who are diagnosing gastrointestinal lesions. This book is designed to assist these medical professionals to find cancers in the early stage and stay up-to-date on image-enhanced endoscopy techniques.
