Aim and Scope
Comprehensive coverage of colorectal cancer research and clinical practice.
Defining Excellence in Colorectal Oncology Publishing
Colon And Rectal Cancer publishes original research, reviews, and clinical studies spanning the complete spectrum of colorectal malignancies—from molecular mechanisms and genetic foundations to surgical innovations and systemic therapies.
Our journal seeks to publish research that advances understanding of colorectal cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment while maintaining clinical relevance for oncology practitioners. We emphasize translational research bridging laboratory discoveries with clinical applications.
