Clinical Advances, Opportunities, and Challenges in Digestive Diseases of the Foregut

Dear Colleagues,

The progress in dietary, endoscopic, and surgical interventions addressing the ever-growing burden of both benign and malignant foregut diseases over the last decade has been unparalleled. From gut microbe-derived biotherapeutics aimed at modulating obesity and metabolic disease—arguably the most important diseases of our generation—to novel endoscopic approaches treating much rarer conditions such as gastroparesis and achalasia, these innovations have expanded our fundamental understanding and treatment options in the field of foregut diseases. For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of papers on clinical advances, opportunities, and challenges in digestive diseases of benign foregut diseases, including, but not limited to, obesity, gastroparesis, achalasia, and reflux. We welcome your submissions and look forward to working with you to advance the field of foregut diseases through innovation and collaboration.
