Esophageal Cancer and Barrett's Esophagus 3E will focus on these two common and key conditions that affect the esophagus, providing expert guidance to their pathogenesis, cause, prevention, diagnosis and clinical management.

Top international names in the field will examine each of the many issues involved using the very latest evidence-based research, and clear, didactic advice will allow the reader to understand the best methods of diagnosis and clinical management of each condition whether early or late stage.

Well-illustrated and fully revised to include the latest in ACG/ASG/UEGW guidelines, it will be the perfect consultation tool for gastroenterologists and oncologists managing patients with cancer of the esophagus. It will also be ideal for teaching residents and fellows optimum patient management, and for identifying areas requiring future research.
