Upper Digestive Surgical Oncology

Dear Colleagues,

We are honored to guest edit a Special Issue regarding the surgical oncology of the upper digestive system. While many systemic therapies have been prospectively developed for malignancies of the upper digestive system, there is still a great number of unmet needs in the field of surgical oncology. Radical surgical resection remains the cornerstone treatment for cancers of the upper digestive system. In this issue, we cordially invite all researchers to contribute relevant clinical and basic studies regarding upper digestive cancers including esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. Studies on surgical technique, improvement of clinical practice, application of cutting-edge technology, and perioperative management are also in the scope of this Special Issue. Original and review articles (systematic and narrative approaches) are also welcome. Papers that meet the criteria of the peer-reviewed process will be accepted for publication. We hope that this Special Issue will enrich our knowledge of upper digestive surgical oncology and further improve the quality of cancer patient care in surgery.
