The editors, a surgical oncologist and a laparoscopic specialist, aim to provide a resource for the practicing general surgeon using basic minimally invasive techniques. The book discusses diagnosis including biopsy with microinstrumentation, staging, and palliative and curative resection. Specific tumour sites are addressed, including oesophagus, stomach, spleen, small bowel, pancreato-biliary, hepatic resection, and colo-rectal resection. Minimally invasive approaches to the thoracic and retroperitoneal areas are included. The book provides a thorough overview of basic cancer biology, instrumentation, and ultrasound. Additionally, Greene and Heniford explore controversial issues such as port-site recurrence and the effect of pneumoperitoneum on the spread of cancer cells in the abdomen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091617046679,"sku":"9780387987101","price":8136.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387987101.webp?v=1769204764","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/minimally-invasive-cancer-management-9780387987101","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
