In the world of medicine, any publication that brings together the knowledge and experience of renowned experts is a must-have. This is especially true in the case of Surgical Oncology Clinics, whose issue on Colorectal Cancer stands out not only for the quality of its contributors, but also for the relevance and scope of its information. In this edition, guest editor Dr. Traci L. Hedrick leads a team of top specialists who delve into a topic that remains a major public health concern worldwide.

The figures are stark: colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with more than 1.9 million new cases diagnosed in 2020 alone, according to recent estimates. It can affect people of all ages, although the risk increases with age. This underscores the importance of staying informed about the latest advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this disease. As someone who values sharing knowledge and expertise with colleagues, I highly recommend this issue of Surgical Oncology Clinics as an essential read for any practitioner in the field.

One of the key strengths of this volume is its focus on actionable insights for clinical practice. The twelve topics covered in this issue include preoperative staging and evaluation of colorectal cancer, technological advances in the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer, surgical principles of rectal cancer and colon cancer, targeted therapy for colorectal cancer, molecular genetics of colorectal cancer/hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, and more. Each chapter is written by experts and is organized for ease of reference and rapid assimilation of information.

What makes this issue stand out even more is the way in which the latest research and practice guidelines are synthesized and distilled into clinically significant, topic-based reviews. This approach helps busy practitioners to quickly grasp the most important concepts and recommendations, while providing a solid foundation for deeper exploration of specific areas of interest. In addition, the editors have done an impressive job of ensuring a consistent and engaging writing style throughout the issue, making it accessible to readers with varying levels of expertise in the field.

Another feature of this issue that readers will appreciate is its currency. The editors have selected topics that reflect the latest developments in diagnosis, treatment, and management of colorectal cancer. For example, the chapter on technological advances in the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer highlights the role of robotics and laparoscopy in improving outcomes for patients. The chapter on targeted therapy for colorectal cancer describes the latest drugs and treatment protocols that have emerged in recent years, while the chapter on health disparities sheds light on the unequal burden of colorectal cancer among different populations and strategies to overcome it.
