Colorectal Disease offers a real benefit to subscribers and authors. It is first and foremost a vehicle for publishing original research in any discipline relating to colorectal pathology. It should, therefore, appeal to gastroenterologists and surgeons, pathologists, oncologists and any other health professional who cares for patients with a disease of the lower GI tract.
