Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Updates in Pancreas and Colorectal Adenocarcinoma” aims to consolidate current knowledge and recent advancements related to these malignancies. It will serve as a platform for presenting innovative research, evolving clinical practices, and future directions in the management of pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma and their associated complications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Molecular mechanisms and biomarkers: Exploration of molecular pathways involved in the onset and progression of these carcinomas, and identification of novel biomarkers for prognosis and disease monitoring.
- Imaging techniques: Advances in imaging modalities such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) that enhance diagnosis accuracy and treatment planning.
- Therapeutic interventions: Development and evaluation of endoscopic or minimally invasive procedures that improve patient outcomes and reduce treatment-related morbidity.
- Gut microbiota: Investigation of the role of gut microbiota in disease development and progression, and potential therapeutic implications of microbiome modulation.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning: Application of AI and machine learning algorithms to predict disease severity, support clinical decision-making, and personalize treatment strategies.
We welcome high-quality submissions in the form of original research articles, review articles, meta-analyses, clinical trials, and case studies.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to advancing the understanding and treatment of pancreatic and colorectal carcinoma. We look forward to your contributions that will enrich this critical field of study.
