Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases: New Advances in Diagnosis and Prognosis

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, the field of gastroenteology and hepatology has continued its rapid pace of development in the understanding of  disease evolution and in the discovery of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The diagnosis of digestive diseases has important implications for patient care, research, and health policy. When a diagnosis is accurate and made in a timely manner, a patient has the best opportunity for a positive outcome and prognosis. Diagnostic tests and procedures range from invasive to non-invasive, simple to more complex, creating algorithms or diagnostic models. That is why this Special Issue represents an opportunity in bringing together clinical practioners and researchers to share their research results or documentated reviews dedicated to advanced diagnostic approaches, from biomarkers and genetic and molecular tests to more complex technologies. We welcome all topics focused on new diagnostic techniques serving the continous need to improve clinical decision making.
