Special Issue Information
We invite you to submit either an original research or a review article to this Special Issue on “New Insights into Colorectal Cancer”. The scope of this Special Issue of Cancers is to further expand our current knowledge in the field of colorectal cancer (CRC) research, one of the most frequently occurring neoplasias in developed countries. Clinical and translational research will be considered for inclusion in this Special Issue. We encourage you to submit original, short communications as well as systematic reviews or meta-analyses.
This Special Issue will focus on, but not be limited to, the following “hot topics” in CRC research: a) diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, especially non-invasive approaches; b) genetic alterations (somatic and germline predisposition); c) hereditary CRC syndromes; d) early-onset CRC; e) endoscopic and surgical therapeutics; f) novel targeted/personalized therapies; g) immunotherapy; and h) the CRC microbiome.
