Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Primary liver cancers are increasing in incidence and mortality. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of these cancers is often made late due to their silent nature and invasiveness. At present, the understanding of primary liver carcinogenesis is essential to develop more efficient combinations of immune inhibitors and chemotherapies together with surgical and non-surgical strategies.
Improved therapeutic protocols for patients with advanced or metastatic primary liver cancer are currently advocated. For this Special Issue, submissions of clinical and experimental research that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of primary liver cancers with personal experience are invited. Studies designed to clarify the following topics are welcome for submissions: diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma and diagnosis of biliary intraepithelial neoplasm and intraductal papillary neoplasm. In addition, studies on ecoendoscopy and artificial intelligence in the research field of primary liver cancer are strongly encouraged.
