Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent advances have significantly improved our understanding of cancer biology, particularly through the identification of biomarkers and the investigation of cancer stem cells and the heterogeneity of tumors. Cancer’s complex pathology, in addition to the current challenges of therapies, highlights the critical need for ongoing research into effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Emerging Trends in Cancer: Biomarkers, Therapeutic Strategies and Future Directions” of the journal Biomedicines.
This Special Issue aims to consider emerging trends in cancer research in order to highlight innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies while addressing the current challenges and future directions in treatment and management. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Discovery and validation of novel cancer biomarkers for early detection, prognosis and treatment monitoring.
- Advances in understanding the role of cancer stem cells in tumor progression, resistance mechanisms and therapeutic targeting.
- Innovations in personalized medicine strategies including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and tailored therapeutic regimens.
- Emerging cancer therapeutic strategies such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, nanomedicine and combination therapies.
- Investigations into the tumor microenvironment, its interactions with cancer cells and implications for treatment response and resistance.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Nedime Serakinci
