Special Issue Information
Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of cancer with a very poor prognosis when diagnosed in the late stage of development. While the incidence of melanoma is rapidly increasing worldwide, the accuracy of diagnosis is decreasing, and melanoma’s accuracy of diagnosis is one of the lowest of all cancers. Moreover, metastatic melanoma is very difficult to treat in that it is highly resistant to most anti-cancer therapies. That is why so much emphasis has been put over the years on basic research to better understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of melanoma development, growth, progression, and metastasis. This has led to new insights into the most fundamental processes of malignant melanoma. Now, it is time to use all our basic knowledge to achieve practical goals. In this Special Issue, we encourage scientists from different disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, and engineering, to pave the way to new discoveries in the field of melanoma. We would particularly welcome studies on the development of new strategies for melanoma prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
