Description
Annual 21 contains an expanded section on Colorectal Cancer, an area that has seen remarkable progress in screening, early detection,
prevention and therapy in just the last few years. You will also see updates on biology and treatment of common malignancies as well
as chapters that summarise recent advances in chemotherapy and immunotherapy for cancer.
