Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer currently represents an increasing medical and economic burden worldwide. This Special Issue will focus on the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer, with a special interest in new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We invite authors to submit original research and review articles on potential topics that include biomarkers, diagnosis and therapy of colorectal cancer, and recent advances in colorectal cancer management (including combinations of multiple treatment options such as surgery, chemotherapy and immunotherapy). The role of gut microbiota in the diagnosis and therapy of colorectal cancer will also be emphasized.
