Colon Cancer

Colon Cancer As per available reports about 186 journals, 280 Conferences, 48 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Colon Cancer and about 114796 articles are being published on the current trends in Colon Cancer. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. As reported in Medicine net.com, Colon Cancers of the colon and rectum (colorectal cancer) start when the process of the normal replacement of lining cells goes awry. Mistakes in mucosal cell division occur frequently. For reasons that are poorly understood, sometimes mistakes occur that escape our editing systems. When this occurs, these cells begin to divide independently of the normal checks and balances that control growth. As these abnormal cells grow and divide, they can lead to growths within the colon called polyps. Polyps vary in type, but many are precancerous tumors that grow slowly over the course of years and do not spread. As polyps grow, additional genetic mutations further destabilize the cells and can make the cells more bizarre. When these precancerous tumors change direction (growing through the tube rather than into the middle of it) and invade other layers of the large intestine (such as the submucosa or muscular layer), the precancerous polyp has become cancerous. In most cases this process is slow, taking at least 8 to 10 years to develop from those early aberrant cells to a frank cancer.

The Journal of Carcinogenesis & Mutagenesis is a Peer-reviewed medical journal in cancer biology. Mutations are permanent, transmissible changes to the genetic material of the cell, either by nature or due to exposure to chemicals or radiation. This Scientific Journal mainly focuses  on the recognition of cellular responses to DNA damage, apoptosis (cell death), including the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and analysis of carcinogenic process by genetic and epigenetic alterations in genes for the study of cancer initiation and progression

OMICS International, the world leader for contributing prominent scientific services by organizing more than 100 International Conferences across the world annually with the support from 150 International scientific societies and associations and managing 350 peer-reviewed open access journals in science, and technology. The potential support from these International societies, harness the development of vigorous network with the scientific core. OMICS International hosts presentations from eminent experts in all the relevant fields.
