Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal (GI) oncology represents a rapidly evolving domain due to advancements in innovative diagnostic procedures, targeted treatments, immunotherapy, and precision medicine. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research, such as promising diagnostic and prognostic molecular biomarkers and theranostic approaches; furthermore, it will reveal novel treatment strategies, and the latest developments and future perspectives in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of GI cancers.
This Special Issue will explore the impact of immunotherapy, precision oncology, and artificial intelligence in improving cancer diagnostics and patient outcomes. Moreover, it will showcase the role of gut microbiota in tumor progression and the latest developments in minimally invasive endoscopic and surgical interventions. This issue aims to emphasize the crucial importance of multimodal treatment approaches and to address some major oncologic challenges, such as developing strategies to overcome drug resistance and improving treatment efficacy.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to contribute original research, reviews, and short communications related to the topics of this Special Issue. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the journal’s submission guidelines and submitted through the online submission portal. This Special Issue aims to provide both researchers and clinicians with a deeper insight into the cutting-edge advancements and complex understanding of molecular backgrounds, as well as emerging therapeutic strategies for all GI cancers, including esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, and liver malignancies.
