Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the discovery of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), several researchers have focused on the understanding of these molecules and their implication in colorectal cancer (CCR) tumorigenesis and progression. Their role as prognostic factors has been extensively demonstrated, especially for microRNAs, the best studied group. However, other ncRNAs have been understudied. The finding of prognostic ncRNAs that let us stratify CCR patients in different risk groups could be crucial for choosing successful treatment strategies in these patients. In this sense, the advancement in NGS techniques has increased our knowledge of the ncRNA family, enhancing the findings of new promising prognostic biomarkers in tumor, and recently also in liquid biopsy. This Special Issue will focus on the prognostic impact of ncRNAs in CCR, in both tumor and liquid biopsies. Primary research or review articles are welcome, as well as in silico analysis from TGCA data.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Gastrointestinal Disorders is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
