Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue dedicated to "Novel Surgical Treatment Approaches in Advanced Gastrointestinal Neoplasms," focusing on innovative surgical techniques. This Special Issue aims to showcase pioneering advancements in surgical oncology for the management of complex gastrointestinal neoplasms.
Gastrointestinal malignancies present intricate challenges that often necessitate surgical intervention as a cornerstone of treatment. Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in surgical approaches, encompassing minimally invasive techniques, organ-preserving surgeries, and enhanced perioperative care protocols. Additionally, modalities such as Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) have shown promise as adjuncts to surgery, facilitating targeted chemotherapy delivery.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight groundbreaking research and clinical experiences that push the boundaries of surgical oncology in the realm of advanced gastrointestinal neoplasms. We invite submissions of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives that explore novel surgical interventions, perioperative management strategies, outcomes assessment, and the integration of surgical techniques with systemic therapies.
By fostering collaboration among surgical oncologists, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals, this Special Issue aims to advance the field's understanding and implementation of innovative surgical solutions for gastrointestinal malignancies. We encourage authors to contribute their pioneering work to this Special Issue, thereby shaping the future of surgical oncology and improving outcomes for patients facing advanced gastrointestinal neoplasms.
