Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases: Novel Strategies of Diagnosis and Treatments—Second Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the first edition, we are pleased to announce the Second Edition of the Topic Issue “Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases: Novel Strategies of Diagnosis and Treatments.”

Diseases of the liver and pancreas continue to represent a crucial field of interest in clinical, surgical, and translational research. Both benign conditions, such as hepatitis or pancreatitis, and malignant tumors significantly impact patients’ quality of life and survival, highlighting the need for continuous innovation in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

In recent years, malignant tumors of the liver, biliary tract, and pancreas have shown a worrying increase in incidence and mortality worldwide. These challenges reinforce the urgent need for novel approaches aimed at improving early detection, precision diagnosis, and effective treatment.

This new edition particularly welcomes original studies and reviews exploring the application of radiomics and artificial intelligence in hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. These emerging technologies promise to revolutionize how we interpret imaging data, stratify patient risk, and personalize therapeutic strategies.

We therefore invite researchers and clinicians to contribute their most innovative work, spanning medical, surgical, and technological perspectives, to further advance the understanding and management of HPB pathologies.
