For an in-depth introduction to current information about colorectal cancer in general, see this 2019 paper published in the Lancet, co-authored by Dr. Pashtoon Kasi, one of the clinicians featured in our Doc Talks series here in the Lecture Hall.

The discussions that are part of DocTalks are intended for general treatment-related information purposes only.
