Gastrointestinal: Inflammation, Immunity and Cancer Pathways

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer’s risk appears to evolve over time as a possible result of changes in dietary, environmental and lifestyle factors, including infection, diet, drug abuse, radiations, and stress; however, the etiology of cancer is complex, comprising infectious agent genomic variability, host genetic and environmental are the strongest risk factor for the development of carcinoma. Cancer is a major problem of disease worldwide and each year, more than millions of people are detected with cancer around the world, and more than half of them die. Gastrointestinal cancers are among the highest death causing cancers in the world. The incidence of these cancers were an estimated 4.8 million cases and 3.4 million deaths worldwide. Gastrointestinal cancer is a group of cancers that affect the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal cancer include esophageal, stomach, gallbladder, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, liver, pancreatic, colon, rectal and anal cancer.

Through this Special Issue “Gastrointestinal: Inflammation, Immunity and Cancer Pathways” we aim to highlight the new discoveries and advances in the mechanism, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment in gastrointestinal cancer molecular biology.
