Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Cancers titled “Unveiling the Complexity of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Cancers: From Pathogenesis to Management.” Hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remain among the most lethal and therapeutically challenging malignancies worldwide. This Special Issue aims to shed light on the multifaceted biology, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic advances shaping the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of these cancers.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and communications that address topics including tumour microenvironment, biomarkers, treatment resistance, immunotherapy, early detection strategies, and novel therapeutic approaches.
Your expertise would be a valuable addition to this Special Issue, and we believe your contributions can help advance the understanding in this critical area of oncology. Submissions will undergo rigorous peer review and benefit from the high visibility and rapid dissemination provided by Cancers.
We look forward to your participation in this exciting endeavour.
Dr. Stefano Cacciatore
Dr. Luiz Zerbini
