Current Status of Colorectal Cancer: From Prevention to Treatment
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The management process of colorectal cancer (CRC) comprises a large number of strategic moments for disease treatment. Key points of progress on this disease research range from the the initial screening phase, where screening tests and maximum population coverage are crucial, to the decision on what is the best personalized treatment at different disease stages. An overview of each of these phases will be conducted, unifying in one article the two main moments of CRC management. The aims are: to provide an updated account of the recommendations on screening and treatment - in both the surgical phase and the radio-chemotherapy phase; to analyze the tests being conducted, and, finally, to provide an account of foundational research and keys for future guidelines.
