Colorectal Cancer Research Collection

Colorectal Cancer Research Collection

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third most common cause of cancer‐related death in both men and women in the United States. CRC is rapidly shifting to diagnosis at a younger age and at a more advanced stage; however, a large proportion of CRC incidence and mortality is preventable through regular screening, surveillance, and high‐quality treatment. The ACS Journals presents a special collection of the latest CRC research articles, including 2023 CRC statistics published by the American Cancer Society in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
