Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a forthcoming Pharmaceuticals Special Issue on “Phytotherapeutic Applications in Colorectal cancer (CRC) Management”, aiming to explore cutting-edge advancements and innovative research in the field of gene therapy and drugs as promising treatments for colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant progress in conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, there is a pressing need for more effective and targeted therapies. Phytotherapeutic applications offer a novel approach, with the potential to revolutionize the CRC treatment landscape, providing new hope for patients.
This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics related to phytotherapeutic applications for colorectal cancer, including but not limited to the following:
- Development and optimization of gene delivery systems;
- Therapeutic gene candidates and their mechanisms of action;
- Preclinical and clinical studies on drug interventions;
- Overcoming challenges in phytotherapeutic drug applications for colorectal cancer;
- Biomarkers for patient selection and therapy monitoring;
- Regulatory and ethical considerations in gene therapy drug development;
- Molecular pathways as potential targets for phytotherapeutic drugs.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies that contribute to a deeper understanding and advancement of phytotherapy for colorectal cancer. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure the highest standards of scientific quality and relevance.
We believe that this Special Issue will provide a valuable platform for sharing knowledge and fostering collaborations among scholars to advance the field of CRC management. We look forward to receiving your contributions to this exciting endeavor.
