Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to be focused on a translational approach of tumor biomarkers. As the individualized therapy of cancer targets these biomarkers, the subject is comprehensive but, at the same time, very trendy, with potential clinical impact. The editors already work in a transdisciplinary team and represent the medical branch and the preclinical part of medical research. They welcome submissions from researchers involved in basic cancer research but also in clinical activities. We aim to have a complex understanding of cancer, based on serum and tissue biomarkers examined with the most different methods, from ELISA to biochemistry, immunohistochemistry, PCR, NGS, etc. These cancer biomarkers might be examined for diagnosis, screening, estimating prognosis, or might be presented as having a predictive value. For our approach to cancer to evolve, it is mandatory to have a clear understanding of tumor cells, from cell lines to clinical trials. Reviews and original papers are both welcome.
