Advances in Pancreatic Cancer: Exploring Biomarkers and Prognostic Predictors

Dear Colleagues,

With our Special Issue, titled "Advances in Pancreatic Cancer: Exploring Biomarkers and Prognostic Predictors", we hope to shape the future of pancreatic cancer care and strive towards improved patient outcomes. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions on cutting-edge research in the field of pancreatic cancer diagnosis and prognosis, thereby contributing to advancements that will ultimately enhance patient prognosis. Topics of interest include the following: novel biomarkers (liquid biopsy, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.); established and emerging prognostic factors (tumor microenvironment, genetic alterations, and inflammatory markers); and their clinical implications for early detection, risk stratification, and personalized management. Submissions in forms of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives are welcome. Please submit your manuscripts by June 2026, so we collectively work toward a brighter future for pancreatic cancer patients.

We look forward to your submissions.

Dr. Makoto Abue
Guest Editor
