Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet it is preventable through effective screening. Rapid advances in imaging, artificial intelligence, biomarker development, device innovation, and data-driven workflows are transforming how clinicians detect precancerous lesions and optimize participation in screening programs. As technology reshapes the landscape of endoscopy and population-based screening, there is a critical need to evaluate emerging tools, compare their real-world performance, and understand how they can be integrated into diverse practice settings.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge developments that enhance the accuracy, accessibility, and efficiency of CRC screening. We invite submissions that critically assess technological innovation, explore translational applications, or demonstrate measurable improvements in clinical outcomes. Our goal is to curate a collection that informs clinicians, researchers, and health-system leaders about practical, scalable advances that can meaningfully impact early detection.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, narrative reviews, scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
