ABSTRACT
The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) since December, 2019 has a wide range of infection due to the strong infectious characteristics. Both medical staff and patients are at increased risk of infection. It is an urgent clinical problem for specialist doctors to work with diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients during the epidemic situation. Based on the colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines (2019 CSCO guideline), combined with their own experience, the authors propose the overall management strategies for colorectal cancer patients. This strategies cover the key diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, and provide targeted clinical practice. These work will be helpful for colorectal cancer specialists to carry out the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer effectively under the epidemic of COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is a systemic disease that requires multidisciplinary treatment. The comprehensive quality of colorectal surgeon directly impacts on the efficacy of diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Multidisciplinary teams help surgeons enhance their ability of evidence-based medicine, improve the quality of main specialty, expand the knowledge of other specialty, enhance the doctor-patient communication, and increase the research level. Thus, multidisciplinary teams can improve the comprehensive quality of colorectal surgeons.

After more than a decade of development, the role of robotic rectal cancer surgery has been established. However robotic right hemicolectomy has just commenced. For rectal cancer surgery, the Da Vinci system is more flexible, accurate, and stable than traditional laparoscopy. The robotic surgery is safe and efficient, and protects the pelvic autonomic nerve function better. At the same time, robotic surgery is easy to learn, promoting its popularization. In robotic right hemicolectomy, the surgery suitable for Da Vinci system is also improved. Da Vinci system is not perfect. High cost is a major obstacle to the wide applications. Lack of tactile feedback and limited mobility of robotic arms also should not be ignored. The next generation of robotic system may make up for these deficiencies through a number of new technologies. The combination of robotics with single port laparoscopic techniques and multi-organ resections is expected to expand the advantages of robotic surgery in colorectal cancer and promote its development.

The traditional single-disciplinary treatment has been transformed into a multi-disciplinary comprehensive treatment,because of the further understanding of oncology.Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) is the representative of this change.MDT has a unique model of organization and conduction.It improves the prognosis of patients through multi-disciplinary conference and standardized individualized treatment.MDT has been applied in metastatic colorectal cancer for a long time,and remarkable achievements have been made.With the development of molecular biology and the application of new targeted agents,MDT has also been progressing to adapt to the trend of modern medicine.
