Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Oral cancer continues to be a significant global health concern, with rising incidence rates and persistent challenges in early detection, treatment resistance, and disease recurrence. This Special Issue comprehensively explores the molecular mechanisms, cellular interactions, and genetic predispositions underlying oral cancer pathophysiology. Additionally, it highlights emerging diagnostic strategies and novel therapeutic approaches that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. Key topics covered in this issue include molecular and cellular mechanisms, biomarkers for early detection and prognosis, targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies, and precision medicine and personalized therapies. By compiling innovative research and expert reviews, this Special Issue bridges the gap between fundamental research and clinical application, promoting the development of more effective strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral cancer. Researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals are encouraged to contribute their findings and foster interdisciplinary collaborations to combat this devastating disease.
