Synopsis

Colorectal Cancer: Disease and Advanced Drug Delivery Strategies examines the combined impact of basic clinical and medical treatments as well as recent advances in the field of colorectal cancer. With a strong focus towards colorectal cancer diagnosis, disease drug delivery, and diagnosis, the book also examines the Tumor microenvironment-responsive and site-specific nanoparticles for cancer theragnostics. Sections provide the opportunity to understand and diagnose the disease, describes screening methods, and update on drugs, including nano- and immunotherapy. Content includes clinical trials in colorectal cancer research and disease models that help better direct researchers and clinicians on how to diagnose and treat colorectal cancer.
