Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Clinical Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment, 2nd Edition”, the follow-up to the first volume, in which we published six papers. For more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/7T1X2BQXO4.
Endoscopy is of the utmost importance in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal lesions. In recent decades, the appearance of new technologies and better imaging, together with the development of training programs, has allowed for an earlier detection of gastrointestinal lesions and provided opportunities for minimally invasive endoscopic treatment. In fact, endoscopic resection is the mainstay treatment for premalignant and early malignant lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. There is now solid evidence about the efficacy and safety of techniques, such as endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), for the treatment of epithelial neoplasia along the gastrointestinal tract, as well as other techniques, such as full-thickness resection (EFTR), endoscopic intermuscular, or subserosal dissection (EID/ ESSD), which expand our endoscopic toolkit for the management of these lesions. In addition, the use of endoscopy in the treatment of subepithelial lesions is already established, using the techniques previously mentioned or other variants such as submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER).
Besides its use in the digestive tract, endoscopy is extremely important for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliopancreatic conditions. Its role in the evaluation of the pancreas and biliary ducts, in the management of cystic and solid pancreatic lesions, and in hepatobiliary pathology is well established, and it has been applied with increasing complexity and efficacy.
In this Special Issue, we welcome any original research, technical notes, or review articles in the field of diagnostic or therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy.
