Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are launching a Special Issue of Cancers entitled “Advances in Esophageal Cancer Treatment”. Our aim is to present an overview of the current debates in the treatment of esophageal cancer and to investigate the future impact of the newly introduced advances in the field.
This Special Issue will focus on the development of the robot-assisted approach and diagnostic tools with the implementation of deep learning, radiomics and pathomics. At the same time, our goal is to enlighten the role of immunotherapy in the curative and palliative treatment of esophageal cancer, the current and future investigations on the genetics of the disease, organ-sparing treatments, the therapeutic approach to oligometastatic disease, the comparison between the proton versus photon beam radiation, and the advantages and limitations of follow-up protocols after curative treatment. The indicators for quality of care in esophageal malignancy, along with the evaluation of the existing databases from high-volume centers worldwide, stand among this Special Issue’s focuses.
You are highly welcome to submit an original article/review/meta-analysis to this Special Issue.
Dr. B.P.L. (Bas) Wijnhoven
Dr. Richard Skipworth
