Special Issue on Colorectal Cancer Research

Every year, more than 1 million people get colorectal cancer and it has caused about 715,000 people die by 2010 according to the record. It originates from uncontrolled cell growth in colon, rectum or appendix rectal and associates with rectal bleeding, anemia or weight loss. Researches show that most colorectal cancer occurs due to lifestyle, increasing age and a minority of cases due to underlying genetic disorders. The treatment of colorectal cancer can be aimed at curation or palliation which depends on patient's health, preferences and the stage of the tumor. As the high mortality of colorectal cancer, close attention and further research shows significant importance.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring colorectal cancer. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Signs and symptoms
• Epidemiology
• Pathophysiology
• Diet and lifestyle
• Cause and risk factors
• Diagnosis and screening
• Prognosis and treatment
