Precision cancer therapy for early-stage colorectal cancer: An expert's guide

The treatment of such early-stage colorectal cancers is highly multidisciplinary; after having biopsies to establish the diagnosis and scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, treatment sometimes includes radiotherapy to shrink the tumour, and in most cases surgery to remove the tumour.

In his latest online article, renowned consultant medical oncologist Professor Marco Gerlinger explains everything you need to know about these treatment options.
