Staging and grading are indispensable in reaching an adequate diagnosis, 
to determine disease severity, to choose an appropriate therapy, and to assure 
the best patient care and quality of life, but up to now no one source in 
gastroenterology has existed. Gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, 
and fellows-in-training in gastroenterology will therefore immediately recognize 
the practical value of Grading and Staging in Gastroenterology – a comprehensive 
and systematic overview of all the current and most relevant information 
regarding grading and staging in gastroenterology – now selected and compiled 
for the first time in a single volume.

Organized into three sections – Instruments for 
Overall Patient and Disease Assessment ; Organ and Disease-related Staging and Grading 
Systems, and Quality of Life Patient Assessments – readers have the option of using as an overall reference, to refer 
to a specific organ or disease, or by virtue of the extensive subject index, to 
research according to specific instrument or other relevant topics.

The following timesaving and didactic features further enhance the usefulness, and 
whether you are a clinician or surgeon, responsible for training, involved in 
research including setting up research trials, or require deeper understanding 
of evidence-based studies you will find making this compendium a part of your 
gastroenterology library a smart investment.

• Uniform presentation — each of the grading and staging 
  systems is anchored in a strict text structure which includes aims, comments, 
  and exact reference 
• Precise and unobtrusive explanatory notes (comments) — 
  especially useful for nurse practitioners 
• Numerous supplementary, high-quality line drawings, and 
  endoscopic, radiologic and histological images — clarify and elucidate where 
  appropriate 
• Complete and accurate reference of all original sources 
  respective to each instrument — saves valuable research time
