Histopathology and Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Tumors

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is focused on the diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer. As the diagnosis is established by a transdisciplinary team, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect papers referring to all the examinations necessary for a proper diagnosis of common cancers but also of rare types of tumors. The diagnosis involves gastroenterologists, imagisticians, surgeons, pathologists, and geneticists but other specialists in the field might also be involved. We welcome papers that involve histopathological analysis but papers on serum examinations and new trends in preoperative diagnosis are also welcomed to be explored. The investigations carried out for the prediction of prognosis or to indicate an individualized therapy might also be part of the Special Issue. Any research or review-type papers that include data focused on diagnosis, from serum to tissue biomarkers and circulating tumor cells, are welcome. If some papers are mainly based on in silico analysis or examination of public gene databases, they should include an external validation on their own cohort. Your individual contribution to research on diagnosis tools might be helpful for doctors involved in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors and provide new hope for oncologic patients.
