Cancers | Blood Cancer Awareness Month

September is designated as “Blood Cancer Awareness Month”, with various global activities that highlight and increase awareness of blood cancers for research support and development. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to all the researchers who have contributed to the fight against this disease. In particular, we would like to share some of the high-quality and innovative research findings in the field of blood cancers, published in Cancers (ISSN: 2072-6694). We hope this announcement will provide useful information for this field.
