The June special issue of The American Journal of Gastroenterology highlights a number of biomarker advances in the GI field.
"We often have to rely on imaging or endoscopy to distinguish between organic and functional GI diseases but this can be expensive and invasive and does not help with the differentiation of functional GI diseases," said AJG Co-Editor-in-Chief Paul Moayyedi, MD, FACG.
Studies in the issue address how biomarkers can play a role in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, pancreatic cysts and more.
