Pancreatic and Biliary Diseases: Diagnostic, Predictive and Prognostic Markers

Dear Colleagues,

There are various pancreatic and biliary diseases but advancing of both diagnosis and treatment is limited even in recent years. For the malignant diseases, pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, early detection with some strategies, imaging modality and biomarkers are still under studying. The knowledge of prediction of the prognosis was poor as well. Other types of neoplasms in pancreas and bile duct, IPMN, P-NEN, MCN, SCN, IPNB, etc , are going to making standard management method. In this special issue, we want to show the current standard diagnostic method in these difficult diseases, and future perspective as well. We can accept original and review articles of these interesting area, and systematic reviews. I hope this special issue will be milestone of the diagnosis in pancreatobiliary diseases
