Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The World Journal of Gastroenterology focuses on gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Recent articles investigate immunotherapy and combination therapies for gastric cancer, prognostic markers for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, the association between proton pump inhibitors and inflammatory bowel disease, and the role of inflammation-based indices and lifestyle in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment. The journal also covers research on intestinal myeloid sarcoma, sex-specific differences in ulcerative colitis treatment, circulating tumor DNA for pancreatic cancer monitoring, molecular mechanisms in gastric cancer, antiviral treatments for chronic hepatitis B, and the link between circadian rhythms and inflammatory bowel disease.
