Advances in Colorectal Cancer Therapy
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide, with a mean age of diagnosis at around 71 years old. Recent data suggest an increased incidence of cases in young people. Moreover, despite improvements in prognosis thanks to targeted therapies over the past two decades, the rate of recurrence or resistance to treatment remains high. For instance, for stage 3, this rate reaches 30%, despite well-conducted curative treatment. Its complexity is in part related to the heterogeneity present within the tumor. Therefore, this Topic will consider articles on all types of research, from fundamental to translational and clinical, to shed light on the evolution of therapies in colon and rectal cancers and all the new diagnostic, prognostic, and theragnostic strategies that international research teams are currently developing.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
