Special Issue on

Digestive System Cancer: Epidemiology, Genetics and Treatment

Cancers that occur in the digestive system include esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and so on. Respectively, they caused 395,000, 700,000 and 715,000 deaths globally in 2010. Main treatments for cancer are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy which depend on the location of the tumor, as well as the type of cancer cell and whether it has invaded other tissues or spread elsewhere. As the high mortality of digestive system cancer, close attention and further research show significant importance and necessity.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring digestive system cancer: epidemiology, genetics and treatment. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Types of digestive system cancer
• Signs and symptoms
• Causes and genetic factors
• Pathogenesis of digestive system cancer
• Prognosis and diagnosis
• Prevention and management
• Epidemiology
• Diet and lifestyle
  
  

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Digestive System Cancer: Epidemiology, Genetics and Treatment” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
