Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical trials remain the standard of care across the field of oncology to introduce novel treatment strategies and agents. These often evolve from promising preclinical data to drug development across Phase I–III trials, with varying levels of success. New treatments for all gastrointestinal malignancies are needed to prolong survival and maintain quality of life.
In this Special Issue of Current Oncology, we invite authors to submit work focusing on therapeutic studies across the spectrum, from preclinical data to later-stage clinical trials, on gastrointestinal cancers. Original articles, as well as review articles detailing advances in novel therapeutics, are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Erica S. Tsang
Guest Editor
