Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite significant improvements in medical as well surgical technologies over the last two decades, the prognosis of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma remains poor. It is well known that gastric cancer is not a single disease but a conglomerate of histologically, biologically and genetically heterogeneous diseases, conditioned by gradual accumulation of various genetic and epigenetic alterations leading to the activation of several molecular pathways resulting in a markedly different responses to the same treatment. High-quality research and advances in technology have contributed to the discovery of molecular pathways as well as histopathologic aspects underlying disease progression and have stimulated many clinical studies testing tailored managements.
Actually, it appears essential to classify tumors based on the underlying oncogenic pathways and to develop genotype-based molecular therapies acting on individual tumors, deeply redefining the natural history of gastric cancer and establishing a new standard for diagnostic, staging and therapeutic tools aiming at a “precision medicine” approach.
We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue with high-quality original papers, as well as review articles, focusing on the development and validation of biomarkers to optimize patient selection and treatment strategies.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Current Oncology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
