Annals of Coloproctology (Ann Coloproctol, ACP) is the official journal of the Korean Society of Coloproctology (KSCP) and the Asia Pacific Federation of Coloproctology (APFCP). ACP's objective is to further the advancement of coloproctology through promoting active communication among the members and international societies of coloproctology. ACP aims to contribute to the in-depth development, cure of colorectal diseases, and improvement of public health.
ACP is mainly interested in surgical issues of diseases originating from the lower digestive system such as colon, rectum, anus, and small bowel. These diseases include colorectal cancer, anal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, benign colonic disease, anorectal disorders, functional diseases, and pelvic floor disorders. ACP also publishes basic research, physiology, epidemiology, and pathophysiology related to these topics.
ACP has a regional focus on Asia but welcomes submissions from researchers worldwide.
