Expert Review of Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Aims & Scope

The enormous health and economic burden of gastrointestinal disease worldwide warrants a sharp focus on the etiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and development of new therapies.

By the end of the last century we had seen enormous advances, both in technologies to visualize disease and in curative therapies in areas such as gastric ulcer, with the advent first of the H2-antagonists and then the proton pump inhibitors - clear examples of how advances in medicine can massively benefit the patient.

Nevertheless, specialists face ongoing challenges from a wide array of diseases of diverse etiology.
