Core Tip

Core Tip: This editorial discusses recent research articles in the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology focusing on gastric and colorectal cancer (CRC). The incidence rates of gastric cancer are higher in regions such as Asia and South America, and this disease is more prevalence among middle-aged and elderly individuals. CRC has a low survival rate and primarily affects individuals older than 50 years. The articles reviewed herein cover topics such as screening, diagnosis, progression mechanisms, and postoperative recovery, and the findings provide valuable insights for clinical decision-making during the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors.
