Therefore, preventive measures are especially important in individuals with genetic alterations, hereditary syndromes, or premalignant lesions, due to their high risk of developing tumors. However, a lack of knowledge and the absence of a multidisciplinary approach and consistency in assessment and follow-up mean that the population considered "high-risk" is not receiving the care it needs.This manual has been created to help solve these shortcomings and provide the necessary knowledge for optimal care in the field of high-risk digestive tumor consultations.

Studies the interpretation of diagnostic tests, especially advanced endoscopic techniques, and the endoscopic and surgical treatment of digestive tumors.
