Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Screening in average- and high-risk populations has become one of the most important cornerstones in current gastroenterology practice. Recommendations and guidelines for the subsequent surveillance of individuals who have been diagnosed with a GI/pancreatic precancerous condition have been developed.
The aim of high-quality screening and surveillance is clear: to enable an early intervention (either by endoscopy or other means) to allow the best possible outcome for the patient.
Our Special Issue is focused on screening in average- and high-risk populations and on appropriate surveillance.
We especially welcome the following types of papers:
- Randomised controlled trials;
- Prospective studies;
- Review articles supported by the most recent literature.
We would appreciate if gastroenterologists involved in screening programmes contributed to this Special Issue.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Oesophageal neoplasia—current screening and surveillance of Barrett’s oesophagus;
- Gastric neoplasia—screening and surveillance of high-risk populations;
- Coeliac disease—screening and surveillance;
- Small bowel polyposis—screening and surveillance;
- Pancreatic precancerous lesions—surveillance;
- Colorectal neoplasia—screening in average- and high-risk populations and surveillance.
