Gastrointestinal Cancers: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Gastrointestinal Cancers: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapies” will mainly focus on analyzing present and future approaches for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer patients, with a glimpse of novel perspectives and future challenges in clinical practice. Gastrointestinal cancers are one of the most common worldwide cause of cancer-related death. In the last decade, significant improvements have been made in the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal cancers deriving from the development of modern tailored therapies, which include cytotoxic drugs, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy. Recently, emerging and novel biomarkers have been identified and validated with a huge impact on patients’ outcomes and improving the treatment landscape. Despite these advances, gastrointestinal cancers still represent a major public health problem worldwide; hence, it is mandatory to develop novel therapeutic approaches for patients affected by those cancers. We cordially invite experts in the field to submit original research or review articles pertaining to this important and fast-progressing field of biomedicine.
