Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on the application of endoscopy in gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Endoscopic procedures are fundamental tools in modern gastroenterology, providing unparalleled opportunities for early diagnosis, risk stratification, and targeted treatment. The ability to directly visualize the GI tract has transformed the management of diseases ranging from colorectal cancer to inflammatory bowel disease, polyps, bleeding lesions and submucosal tumours. The integration of high-definition imaging, advanced therapeutic techniques and artificial intelligence continues to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances and clinical applications of endoscopic techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of GI diseases. It aligns with the journal’s scope by focusing on innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in gastroenterology, hepatology and surgical endoscopy. The collection of papers will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and contribute to evidence-based clinical practice.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Diagnostic innovations in upper- and lower-GI endoscopy;
- Endoscopic treatment of GI bleeding, strictures, and tumours;
- Screening and surveillance strategies for colorectal cancer;
- Advances in endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and submucosal dissection (ESD);
- Artificial intelligence and image-enhanced endoscopy;
- Training and quality assurance in endoscopy;
- Patient outcomes and complication management.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
