Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Gastrointestinal Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

The discovery of novel strategies for gastrointestinal cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention remains a matter of utmost importance. In our efforts to develop effective therapies and anti-cancer drugs, recent research has focused on innovative molecular, biochemical, pathological and immunological developments. In this respect, investigation of the mechanisms of carcinogenesis is crucial to developing cancer screening methods and therapies for application in clinical practice. Furthermore, the discovery of new chemopreventive agents can also help in the fight against cancer.

This Topical Collection will present an overview of the most recent studies on advancements in diagnosis, anti-cancer drugs and chemopreventive agents for gastrointestinal cancers. Topics of interest include 1) cancer diagnosis, 2) carcinogenesis models for the discovery of cancer risk factors, innovative drugs and chemopreventive agents, 4) investigation of molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis, 5) discovery of novel cancer biomarkers and molecular targets, and 6) preclinical innovative studies.
