Summary
Colorectal cancer is a significant health concern globally, being one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. It involves the development of cancerous growths in the colon or rectum, often stemming from polyps that become malignant over time. Despite advancements in detection and treatment, colorectal cancer remains a formidable challenge due to its complex nature and varied presentation.
This special issue on Colorectal Cancer aims to delve into the latest advancements and research in this critical field. This issue will encompass a broad range of topics, including early detection methods such as novel biomarkers and advanced imaging techniques, innovative treatment options like targeted therapies and immunotherapies, and insights into the molecular and genetic underpinnings of colorectal cancer. Additionally, the issue will explore the epidemiology of colorectal cancer, examining risk factors, preventive strategies, and disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
This special issue seeks to bring together leading researchers and clinicians to share their findings and foster collaboration, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and advance the field of oncology. By compiling cutting-edge research and expert insights, the issue aspires to be a valuable resource for oncologists, researchers, and policymakers.
