Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal tract cancers pose a significant public health challenge globally, and their incidence is constantly increasing. We suffer from colon cancer more often, but the number of liver cancer cases is also increasing. At the same time, three cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, and liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer, were placed on the list of the ten most lethal cancers by the American Society of Oncology (ACS).
The molecular aspects of gastrointestinal cancers are the subject of intense research, which may lead to generating a better understanding of the genetic changes and molecular pathways associated with gastrointestinal cancers, facilitating the development of targeted therapies and personalized therapeutic approaches, contributing to improving patient outcomes, greater diagnostic accuracy, and a better overall survival rate. Continued research and innovation in these areas provide hope for making further progress in the prevention, diagnosis, and development of new therapeutic strategies for gastrointestinal cancers.
In this Special Issue, we present original research and literature reviews discussing various aspects of the pathology, diagnosis, and therapy of gastrointestinal cancer.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
