Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastric cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in oncology, characterized by its complex pathophysiology, late-stage diagnosis, and limited treatment options. Despite significant advancements in cancer research, the prognosis for gastric cancer patients continues to be poor, highlighting an urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue, entitled "Emerging Therapies for Gastric Cancer," seeks to address this critical gap by bringing together cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews from leading scientists and clinicians in the field. We invite contributions that explore novel therapeutic approaches, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, combination treatments, and advancements in precision medicine tailored specifically for gastric cancer.
This Special Issue aims to illuminate the pathways from bench to bedside, offering insights into the molecular mechanisms driving gastric cancer and the translational research that holds promise for more effective treatments. Original studies that provide new data, as well as review articles that synthesize current knowledge and propose future directions, are both highly encouraged.
