Gastrointestinal Cancers: Advances in Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutics

Dear Colleagues,

Gastrointestinal cancers comprise a wide array of tumors interesting the whole gastrointestinal tract. As reported by the World Health Organization, approximately 3.5 million new gastrointestinal cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide in 2018. Notably, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer are the third and fifth most frequent types of cancer, respectively and are amongst the fifth most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite the advancement that increased early diagnostic rates and more efficient treatment strategies, these types of cancers are burdened by high mortality rates.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your manuscripts related to the aim of this special issue, which is to report the current advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and better prognostic stratification for gastrointestinal cancers.

In this Special Issue, basic and clinical studies for original research articles and reviews, are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Esophageal, gastric, and duodenal cancers;
• Biliary and pancreatic cancers;
• Hepatocellular Carcinoma;
• Neuroendocrine tumors;
• Colorectal cancers.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
