Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on "Advances in the treatment of Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer". The primary treatments of upper gastrointestinal cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Surgical techniques are advancing towards less invasive procedures, incorporating laparoscopy, robotic surgery, and single-port operations, along with innovative tools like fluorescent cameras and artificial intelligence. Chemotherapy is evolving, with a growing focus on preoperative treatments complementing traditional postoperative regimens, and immunotherapy is gaining prominence too. Radiation therapy is also being adapted for various palliative purposes.
This Special Issue will explore the latest developments and ongoing validations in these treatments. Contributions that discuss these advancements are warmly invited to be submitted to this Special Issue.
