Advances in Pancreatoduodenectomy

Dear Colleagues,

In the past, pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was once regarded as a surgical procedure to be avoided because of high morbidity and mortality rates. However, with advances in surgical experiences, techniques, profound anatomy knowledge, and the quality of perioperative management, PD is gold-standard in treating periampullary pathological lesions. In addition, the minimally invasive surgical approach, laparoscopic or robotic, has recently became one a hot topic in dealing with advances in PD.

I am very excited to invite you to contribute your expertise and insights to this groundbreaking compilation. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances, innovations, and breakthroughs in the field of pancreatoduodenectomy. We seek to explore the latest surgical techniques, technological advancements, perioperative management strategies, and outcomes research related to this critical aspect of cancer treatment. This Special Issue welcomes reviews, as well as original research articles, by August 15, 2024.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
