Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Precision medicine in gastrointestinal cancers represents a significant shift towards more personalized healthcare, with the potential to improve outcomes, reduce unnecessary treatments, and enhance the quality of life for patients with these complex diseases.
Gastrointestinal cancers, encompassing a diverse group of malignancies including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and biliary tract, remain a significant challenge worldwide due to their high incidence, mortality rates, and complex biological behaviors. Currently, several biomarkers predictive of prognosis or drug response have been suggested for patients with digestive cancers and their detection in tissue or liquid biopsies has the potential to improve clinical practice. This Special Issue is designed to provide information on new biomarker research in the area of gastrointestinal tumors that could be useful for individualized care. Furthermore, this Special Issue aims to explore how precision medicine can revolutionize the management of these cancers, from early detection and diagnosis to treatment and beyond.
Contributions may include original research articles, review papers, and perspectives from leading experts in the field. We encourage submissions from a multidisciplinary team of authors, reflecting the collaborative nature of precision medicine.
