Pathogenesis and Treatment of Biliopancreatic Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

Biliopancreatic cancers, including pancreatic cancers, cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer, occur with an increasing incidence, with a large proportion accounting for fatalities related to metastatic disease.

This Special Issue on “Pathogenesis and Treatment of Biliopancreatic Cancer” aims to publish cutting-edge research on both preclinical and clinical studies on these cancers, including a comprehensive overview of tumor progression in association with the tumor microenvironment, metastatic process, cancer treatment, immune response, or drug resistance.

In the evolving landscape of oncological research, understanding the genetic and epigenetic alterations that underpin these cancers is crucial. We are particularly keen on submissions that explore the latest advancements in diagnostic tools, predictive biomarkers, and personalized treatment approaches. The intricate dance between cancer cells and the immune system, especially in the context of emerging immunotherapies, is another area of profound interest.

Review articles as well as original studies will be considered for publication. We hope that both academics and clinics working on gastrointestinal cancer will find this platform useful. We look forward to receiving exceptional submissions.

Prof. Dr. Antonio Benedetti
Guest Editor
