It outlines risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic investigations (e.g., tumor markers, CT scans, colonoscopy), and treatment options, including surgical procedures like the Whipple procedure and hemicolectomy. The guide also discusses screening methods, such as fecal immunochemical tests (FIT), and the importance of staging cancers using the TNM system.
