Complex Digestive Diseases: Diagnosis and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Complex digestive diseases represent a significant challenge in modern gastroenterology, encompassing conditions such as challenging and rare pancreatobiliary and intestinal diseases, as well as gastrointestinal involvement in systemic diseases. These conditions are characterized by multifaceted pathogenesis, diagnostic difficulties, and often suboptimal treatment outcomes. This Special Issue, "Complex Digestive Diseases: Diagnosis and Management," aims to address these challenges by highlighting the latest advances in both diagnostic methodologies and therapeutic interventions. We are particularly interested in exploring novel diagnostic approaches, including advanced endoscopic techniques, biomarker discovery, artificial intelligence applications, and multi-omics integration. Furthermore, this issue will feature cutting-edge management strategies, ranging from targeted biological therapies and minimally invasive procedures to personalized treatment algorithms. We welcome contributions that bridge the gap between basic research and clinical practice, with a focus on improving patient care and outcomes. Original research articles and comprehensive reviews are invited to provide new insights into the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of these complex digestive disorders, ultimately contributing to enhanced clinical decision-making and patient quality of life.
