Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The incidence of colorectal cancer is rising worldwide, especially in patients aged under fifty. Estimated incidence rates of CRC comprise more than two million new cases and more than one million deaths by the year 2030. Moreover, patients with metastatic disease exhibit even worse survival rates. Despite copious improvements and advances regarding therapeutic approaches, the development of new therapeutic treatment modalities is needed due to recurrence, metastatic formation, and failure of therapy. Patients’ tailored treatment based on the tumors’ molecular and pathological features is common, e.g., anti-EGFR therapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors, but nevertheless, the aim is generally not to cure, but to extend overall survival. Therefore, recent insights into colorectal cancer treatment are of the utmost importance.

With this Special Issue titled “Recent Insights into Colorectal Cancer Treatment”, we want to point out and summarize new treatment approaches for better patient outcomes.

Dr. Fee Klupp
Guest Editor
