Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) cancers often have dismal outcomes, although several breakthroughs, including targeted therapies, advances in immuno-oncology, and newly developed systemic treatment, are now applied clinically. With advances in medical treatment, surgery is still crucial under most circumstances and provides the best chance for curing the malignancy. In addition to surgery, improvements in other local ablation therapies may also provide therapeutic benefits. Nowadays, many multidisciplinary teams are focusing on this issue, improving the treatment outcome for patients with HBP cancers.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute your work and research results to this Special Issue, which aims to improve treatment outcomes and the quality of patient care in HBP cancer management. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas of focus may include clinical, basic, and translational studies. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
