Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer treatment has rapidly evolved over the last decade. Minimally invasive surgical innovations, including robotic and transanal surgical modalities, have been enabled by remarkable developments in medical oncology alongside progressive approaches to radiation delivery. Total neoadjuvant therapy and immunotherapy have paved the way for organ preservation and the potential for rectal sparing operative interventions.
As the Guest Editor of the Special Issue for the journal Cancers, I would like to invite you to contribute a paper focusing on “Current Perspectives in Colorectal Cancer.” The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight any basic/translational science and clinical research advances in colorectal surgery, surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology.
Thank you for your consideration.
Dr. Sandy Hwang Fang
Guest Editor
