This book provides a comprehensive exploration of colorectal cancer (CRC), covering its development, cellular and molecular pathologies, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, challenges, and future research directions. The introductory chapters provide foundational aspects of CRC, its historical evolution, prevalent symptoms, and underlying causes. This book presents the pathology of CRC, delving into microscopic analysis techniques, and covers the classification and various stages of CRC. Additionally, this book examines the cellular and molecular aspects of the disease, unraveling the intricate signaling pathways involved, and shedding light on the genetic and epigenetic factors that contribute to its development and progression. This book further explores tools and techniques utilized in clinical practice, including cellular, molecular, and genetic testing methods. It examines various treatment modalities for CRC, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy, highlighting their associated advantages and disadvantages. Toward the end, this book highlights innovative trends and advancements in CRC diagnosis and treatment, including the transformative role of machine learning, artificial intelligence, stem cells, and nano drug delivery systems. This book serves as a vital resource for the latest information for researchers, cancer research students, and oncologists.Key Features1) Reviews cellular and molecular pathologies, diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities of CRC.2) Discusses diagnostic methods and treatment strategies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy.3) Highlights the role of machine learning, artificial intelligence, stem cells, and nano drug delivery systems in CRC diagnosis and treatment.4) Examines the genetic and epigenetic factors that contribute to the development and progression of CRC.5) Delves into the cellular and molecular aspects of CRC, elucidating complex signaling pathways involved in disease initiation and progression.
