Contemporary Management of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Precision Medicine Approach summarizes current knowledge and provides evidenced-based practice recommendations on how to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The book presents topics such as pre-operating imaging, the use of molecular markers in treatment decisions, neoadjuvant therapy, synchronous colorectal liver metastasis, and minimally invasive approaches. In addition, it discusses immunotherapy, targeted therapies and survivorship. This is a valuable resource for practitioners, cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and members of biomedical research who need to understand more about novel treatments for colorectal cancer metastasis.

Aslam Ejaz MD, MPH is a surgical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, bile duct cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers. In addition to his clinical work, he is dedicated to teaching the future generation of surgeons and other cancer care providers as an assistant professor in the Division of Surgical Oncology at The Ohio State University. As a member of the Translational Therapeutics Program at the OSUCCC - James, one of his research interests is in the development of clinical trials to help patients receive new therapies that may not be available at other treatment centers. He is also interested in researching how patients do after surgery as well as addressing variations in perioperative surgical care and quality improvement. Dr. Ejaz's research is dedicated to improving cancer care, and he has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in high-impact cancer and surgical journals.
