Advances in the Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Diseases

Dear Colleagues, 

Gastrointestinal diseases refer to disorders of the digestive tract, which is made up of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastrointestinal diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gall stone, inflammatory bowel syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and gastrointestinal cancer are common problems and represent huge threats to human health. Early diagnosis provides one of the best chances for patient treatment and greatly improves their outcomes. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for basic scientists, clinical researchers, and clinicians to disseminate their research findings and updated reviews on topics related to advanced diagnostic methods in gastrointestinal diseases. Proposals of diagnostic markers, diagnostic techniques and clinical criteria are welcome.
