Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second deadliest cancer worldwide. CRC accounts for approximately 10% of cancer-related deaths in men and women. Although screening techniques and treatment have progressed substantially in recent years, the prevalence of CRC is still on the rise. Therefore, further studies are necessary to determine the molecular mechanisms that underline CRC initiation and progression.
In this Special Issue, we are pleased to invite authors to submit articles addressing recent advances regarding the mechanistic pathways involved in CRC tumorigenesis.
This Special Issue was established to prompt researchers to perform studies on the following subjects in CRC:
- Mechanistic pathways involved in the evolution of primary, metastatic, and recurrent lesions;
- Metabolism dysregulation;
- The molecular mechanisms of resistance to anti-cancer agents;
- The role of extracellular vesicles in tumorigenesis.
Basic studies or translational studies are welcome. Reviews are also appreciated.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
