Special Issue on Colorectal Cancer and Treatments

Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer, rectal cancer or bowel cancer, is the third most common type of cancer in the world. Many factors may result in colorectal cancer including unhealthy lifestyle, old age, inherited genetic disorders, exposure to radiation and so on. To defeat colorectal cancer, combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy may be used.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Colorectal Cancer and Treatments. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Causes

• Local excision or simple polypectomy
• Chemotherapy
• Clinical trials of new chemotherapy regimens after surgery
• Radiofrequency ablation or cryosurgery
• Chemoembolization of the hepatic artery
• Radiation therapy
• Targeted therapy
• Palliative care

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
