Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Optimal care of patients with cancers, particularly those in the digestive system, requires integration of the clinical expertise of professionals across multiple health disciplines. Research in population science and genetics has been translated to facilitate early detection of cancer and improve treatment outcomes. Technological advances have been applied for developing diagnostic tools as well as surgical and radiological interventions. Molecular biomarkers and targets have been exploited to achieve the goal of precision cancer treatment. Music and arts are being explored for psychosocial support in cancer patients. This Special Issue of Biomedicines focuses on recent advances in gastrointestinal oncology including cancer epidemiology, cancer genetics, diagnostic modalities, therapeutic interventions, and psychosocial support, with the hope of facilitating early detection of cancers in digestive organs, and improving treatment outcomes in patients with these malignant diseases.
