Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Upper gastrointestinal cancers include oesophageal cancer, stomach cancer, small intestine cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and gallbladder cancer. Some of these cancers had high mortality among all type of cancers. Based on the GLOBOCAN report, from 19,292,789 new cancer cases and 9,958,133 new cancer deaths in 2020, with these cancers representing 16.6% and 27.1%, respectively. Conventional method for these cancer diagnosis are invasive and usually detect patients in end stages. In addition to conventional methos, the new ways developed to diagnose of cancer such as biomarkers, genetic screening, pain-free breathalysers, artificial intelligence for medical diagnostics, etc., can help with the diagnosis and early detection of cancer. Thus, the development of diagnostic markers and the early diagnostic approaches of these cancers can improve the management and finally improve survival rates. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the diagnosis and management of upper gastrointestinal cancer by conventional and new ways methods.
