Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreatic cancer is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death by 2030. As such, and despite advancements in outcome in the past decade, it is necessary to further increase our understanding of this fatal disease.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue on research refining guidance of patients in the neoadjuvant trajectory for pancreatic cancer. We include basic, translational, and clinical studies regarding neoadjuvant therapy, focusing on predictive and prognostic markers to oppose futile surgery and improve outcome. Furthermore, this Special Issue aims to sharpen therapeutic neoadjuvant strategies, including cutting-edge systemic targets and precision medicine.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) neoadjuvant treatments and supportive strategies to conquer invalidating toxic events and augment patients’ body composition. In addition to pancreatic cancer, research on overarching periampullary cancers will be considered.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Cancers.
