Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the recent decades, there has been many advancements in colorectal cancer research and a significant investment in research aimed at better the diagnosis, screening and treatment for this disease. This has helped improve the surveillance and understanding of the disease progression, with potential direct clinical benefits in prevention and early treatment, especially screening programs. At the same time, there are several challenges that arise with the full implementation of endoscopy screening programs and technology in countries with limited resources, leading to the inequality of care provided to patients.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine aims to highlight the current state of clinical research and practice in colorectal cancer, and showcase some of the most cutting-edge technologies and advancements in the field to enhance the care provided to patients. It will also cover the challenges of properly implementing endoscopy practice in resource-constrained settings.
