Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of “Clinical and Translational Research in Gastrointestinal Cancers”.
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers pose a major challenge to global public health. In 2018, Arnold and colleagues (PMID: 32247694) estimated that there were 4.8 million new cases of GI cancers and 3.4 million related deaths worldwide. Lu and colleagues (PMID: 34563100) have recently quantified the involvement of lifestyle-related factors in the development of GI cancers. There remain many options for the primary and secondary prevention of these cancers, and their management is also evolving. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robotic) surgery is increasingly applied to complement open surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have not extended the duration of disease-free survival, but have also had a significant impact on overall survival. The last decade has witnessed a paradigm shift, with a growing interest in cancer survivorship and quality of life. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and impactful reviews from around the world that highlight developments in the management of a broad spectrum of GI cancers, including survivorship.
