Abstract

Modern science helps us to understand the changing world around us, across fields such as biology, computer science, mathematics, statistics, chemistry, computational biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, and many others. An important branch of science that has had a large impact on the medical field is bioinformatics. This chapter introduces the importance of information science into colon cancer research. According to the American Cancer Association, in the United States in 2018, 97,220 new cases of colon cancer (CC) were identified. The research into this topic area is an immediate need to save many lives and improve people's living standards.
