Focus on Colorectal Cancer and Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer death in developed countries. Colorectal surgery is the main treatment option for colorectal cancer patients. Recently, developments in this type of surgery and surgery in general have been achieved. In addition, progress in the methods and equipment used in colorectal surgery and surgery in general has been noted.  It is often difficult to keep track of the new devices and methodologies that appear. New research is currently underway and better combinations of treatments are being studied.

The Special Issue aims to discuss advanced treatment methods and the most recent research in the development and introduction of new devices and methods of colorectal cancer treatment.

We accept original articles, clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
