Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Treatment of these malignancies often consists of multimodal therapy with a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In addition, immune-based therapies are being utilized at increased rates in patients with GI malignancies.
In this Special Issue, we focus on advances in the multimodal treatment of patients with GI malignancies, including patients with localized and metastatic disease. Comments are encouraged on the role of biomarkers and molecular profiling techniques to help guide therapeutic decisions as well as emerging novel therapies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Zachary J. Brown
Guest Editor
