The purpose of this handbook is to create a practical guide for trainees, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and attending physicians to guide them in the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal cancers. The handbook provides key information on diagnosis and treatment, while highlighting the epidemiology, molecular data, and additionally various multimodality treatment options for a broad array of gastrointestinal cancers. It is concise and easy to read, yet broad and practical in its ability to provide for the needs of the medical professional dealing with gastrointestinal cancers. Unique to the book are “How I Treat” vignettes providing not only standards of care but expert recommendations for approaching tough-to-treat disease sites and, in some cases, rare or uncommon patient scenarios. The book is appropriate for physicians in all specialties as well as primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals who are essential members of any team caring for the patient with gastrointestinal cancer. It begins with the most common of the gastrointestinal cancers, colon and rectal cancer, followed by pancreatic, hepatocellular, esophageal, and gastric cancer, cancer of the bile ducts and gallbladder, and then the more rare and unusual cancers such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, and anal carcinoma. In each of these sections, the authors use evidence-based guidelines for the specific cancer to focus on epidemiology and biologic aspects of the disease, including genetic factors and molecular biology. Chapters also discuss modifiable factors, diagnostic testing, and techniques consisting of the molecular basis of diagnosis and treatment of early and advanced disease, which incorporates the role of surgery, neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and biologics and their selection and ablative techniques. The presentation is very helpful and unique in that the authors approach advanced disease as oligometastatic and widely metastatic and account for how these approaches differ.

This book introduces emerging research methods that will assist community health researchers interested in effectively addressing the complex health issues faced by communities today. It also introduces readers to several research methods particularly appropriate for addressing the context of health issues, translating research into action, and engaging community and relevant stakeholders. Use of these methods will lead to advancements in the field of community health and ultimately to improvements in community health. The book illustrates how community health researchers must move beyond the rigid distinction between qualitative and quantitative methods to adopt new integrated research methods to understand health as a community system. Within the discipline of public health, community health is an important and evolving subdiscipline that specifically emphasizes disease prevention and early intervention for members of a given community. The book includes spatial analysis, agent-based models, community-network analysis and realist reviews and addresses system dynamics, concept mapping, visual voices and media analysis. Integration of qualitative and quantitative data is key to generating unique insights into the mechanisms linking complex community health issues and to providing critical guidance regarding the pathways toward effective intervention and prevention. Institutional pilot funding, often available to researchers based at academic institutions, is a good option to garner support for innovative community health research projects. Partnering with other researchers and community members to learn and apply new and innovative research methods is a necessary steps toward more effectively addressing and improving the health of communities.
