Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are honored to guest edit a Special Issue regarding the personalized therapy strategies for upper digestive surgical oncology. While many systemic therapies have been prospectively developed for malignancies of the upper digestive system, there is still a great number of unmet needs in the field of surgical oncology. Radical surgical resection remains the cornerstone treatment for cancers of the upper digestive system. With the advancements in medicine and surgical technology, neoadjuvant treatment, targeted therapy, the use of immune check point inhibitors and minimally invasive surgical approaches have been widely applied to the context of cancer management of upper digestive malignancies, even in the advanced stages. Personalized therapy strategies should be adopted to treat patients to improve surgical prognosis. In this Special Issue, we invite all researchers to contribute relevant clinical or basic studies regarding upper digestive cancers, including esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas cancers. Studies on surgical techniques, improvement of clinical practice, application of cutting-edge technology, and perioperative management are also in the scope of this Special Issue. Original and review articles (systematic and narrative approaches) are also welcome. Papers that meet the criteria of the peer-reviewed process will be accepted for publication. We hope that this Special Issue will enrich our knowledge of upper digestive surgical oncology and further select the right patients to receive optimal management to improve the quality and outcomes of cancer patient care in surgery.
