Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Christina Schad (Henry Ford Health) and I have been offered a unique opportunity to serve as Guest Editors of an upcoming Special Issue of the Pubmed-indexed journal, Cancers. There has been tremendous growth in the adoption of minimally invasive surgery to treat colorectal cancer, yet there remain controversies regarding the role and benefit of various surgical technologies and approaches. Accordingly, the theme of this Special Issue is "Advances in Minimally Invasive Surgery for Colorectal Cancer", and we thought your experience and expertise were well-suited for an invited submission.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the significance of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer from all aspects. We are particularly interested in high-quality review articles and full-length original research submissions.
