**4. Closing remarks**

Conventional methods for treating CRC are an indispensable option; however there is enough room for improvement, and related process is always ongoing. This can be overcome by accepting a multidisciplinary concept with unconventional meaning and must be considered in an integrated framework from carcinogenesis, including initiation, promotion, and progression, to final diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, rather than the significance of the treatment after definite diagnosis. In this regard, the book provides useful information defined "Multidisciplinary Colorectal Cancer."
