Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major contributor to global cancer cases and deaths, making it a significant public health concern. As the number of CRC survivors continues to rise, understanding the impact of CRC and its treatment on their quality of life (QoL) has become increasingly important. The determinants of QoL in CRC patients are multifaceted and include physical health, physical fitness, physical activity, healthy eating, psychological health, social support, the availability of high-quality medical care, and QoL at the end of life. These factors interact to shape the overall well-being of CRC survivors. To enhance the QoL of CRC patients, a comprehensive approach is needed. This includes tailoring treatments to individual patient characteristics, providing psychological support and symptom management, promoting post-treatment rehabilitation, organizing support groups, emphasizing early detection, and effectively managing CRC-related symptoms. Addressing these aspects can significantly improve the QOL and well-being of CRC survivors, helping them adapt to life after treatment and thrive in the face of the challenges they may encounter.

During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health.
