Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on 'Personalized Medicine for Gastrointestinal Diseases'. The goal of precision medicine is to provide a personalized approach for the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of a disease. Gastrointestinal diseases are prevalent and complex conditions that involve a combination of genetic, environmental, infectious, and host-related factors. Gastrointestinal diseases have a significant impact on public health globally, leading to substantial healthcare costs. Understanding their molecular interactions is crucial in unraveling the pathophysiology of these diseases and in developing effective treatments. Recent research has highlighted the importance of the intestinal microbiome and immune factors in the development and progression of gastrointestinal diseases. These insights have revolutionized our understanding of these conditions and paved the way for new therapeutic approaches. Over the past two decades, significant advancements have been made in identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of gastrointestinal diseases, leading to improved treatment options for patients. In recent years, the fields of endoscopy, radiology, and surgery have seen significant advancements due to the rapid development of new techniques. One major contributing factor has been the incorporation of artificial intelligence, which has played a crucial role in driving progress in various aspects of these medical disciplines. Nevertheless, there remain numerous difficult issues to address in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders.
This Special Issue aims to compile a diverse selection of papers focused on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. This includes research on new molecular mechanisms, innovative endoscopic and surgical techniques, differential diagnosis methods, diagnostic models, improvements in diagnostic procedures, advancements in endoscopic and surgical treatments, and the utilization of artificial intelligence in the field of gastrointestinal diseases.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Precision medicine for the prevention, prognosis, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.
- Personalized medicine for the medical treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
- Advances in molecular medicine on gastrointestinal diseases.
- Clinical application of personalized medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
- Novel techniques in the diagnosis and treatment (e.g., pharmaceutical, interventional, and surgical) of gastrointestinal diseases.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
