Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rising global burden of gastrointestinal cancers, particularly the increasing incidence among younger populations, is a growing concern. Emerging evidence suggests potential links to lifestyle factors and environmental changes. Current diagnostic methods, including blood tests, ultrasound, and CT scans, often fail to enable early detection, highlighting the urgent need for reliable biomarkers. Furthermore, existing treatment approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy remain inadequate in reducing recurrence rates.
To address these challenges, further research is imperative. The development and reassessment of novel and existing diagnostic biomarkers are crucial to improve early detection and treatment outcomes. This Special Issue aims to explore advancements in gastrointestinal cancer diagnosis and therapy, opening new avenues for innovation in the field.
We invite you to contribute original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses focusing on novel diagnostic markers, targeted delivery methods, treatment mechanisms, and immunotherapies for gastrointestinal cancers, including gastric, colon, and colorectal cancers.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Prof. Dr. Bhaumik Patel
