Special Issue Information
Globally, colon cancer remains one of the commonly diagnosed cancers and largest causes of cancer death. Understanding the complex interactions by which colon metabolism influences the development of colon cancer has been a research challenge, but recent years have seen advances in this field. This section of the journal will focus on studies that investigate interactions between metabolites and colon cancer tumor biology, and global clinical relevance. Topics of interest include:
- Influence of bile acids resulting in promoting carcinogenesis;
- Dietary risk which is mediated by colorectal microbiome;
- Impact of meat consumption and fiber-rich foods on colorectal cancer risk;
- Impact of obesity on development of colorectal cancer.
