Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is undergoing a rapid transformation. The expanding armamentarium of advanced therapies underscores the urgent need to tailor treatment to the individual patient. A “one-size-fits-all” approach has dominated clinical practice in the past; however, over the last two decades, the concept of precision medicine has progressively emerged, first in oncology and later expanding towards other immune-mediated diseases. With molecular profiling, predictive biomarkers, and patient-level characteristics as its cornerstones, precision medicine has redefined therapeutic decision making shifting from empirical treatment algorithms to individualized strategies. In IBD, this approach is now gaining momentum, with predictive biomarkers, innovative diagnostic tools, and patient-specific disease trajectories increasingly guiding therapeutic decisions. As an example, while endoscopy has been the historical cornerstone for assessing disease activity and guiding management, the growing role of non-invasive techniques, particularly intestinal ultrasound (IUS), is reshaping disease monitoring, offering a patient-friendly and increasingly standardized approach.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research exploring biomarkers of response, novel imaging modalities, advanced endoscopic and histological assessments, and clinical strategies designed to foster individualized care. We welcome original articles and reviews that will help move IBD care toward truly personalized management.
