Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The gallbladder is a small organ; however, it can be affected by various diseases, such as stones, polyps, tumors, inflammation, and adenomyomatosis. Polyps and adenomyomatosis are especially important diseases, which need to be differentiated from cancer because they are not subjects for surgical treatment, while cancer should be diagnosed strictly without delay because the prognosis is as poor as pancreatic cancer if it becomes advanced. Recently, diagnostic methods for gallbladder diseases have progressed. In addition to conventional ultrasonography (US), computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), procedures related to contrast-enhanced US, diffusion-weighted MRI, endoscopic ultrasonography, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography have been adopted to contribute to the diagnosis of gallbladder diseases.
We hereby invite researchers to submit up-to-date original research articles, short communications, and comprehensive review articles concerning the topic highlighted in this Special Issue: “Recent Advances in Diagnosis of Gallbladder Diseases—2nd Edition”.
Dr. Masataka Kikuyama
