Therapy in Gastrointestinal Oncology

Dear Colleagues,

Our understanding of the biology of cancer has grown rapidly over the last decade, leading to advances in new types of targeted therapies and novel therapeutic approaches.

This Special Issue will discuss recent advances in minimally invasive treatment for GI oncology; endoscopic therapy for early GI cancers; surgical management (including techniques and considerations for minimally invasive approaches); and innovations in neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation treatment for GI cancers. This Special Issue will also discuss the roles of the novel therapies, including rational and structure-based drug design, that are currently being pursued in the clinical setting and hold the promise of improving the clinical outcome of these conditions.
