10th Anniversary of Biomedicines—Novel Targets for Cranial Tumors

Dear Colleagues,

Intracranial tumors may arise from the brain or other structures, such as the meninges, cranial nerves, and pituitary gland. The peculiarity of these tumors is that histologically benign neoplasms can also be life threatening, due to the non-expandability of the intracranial system.

The treatment options for intracranial tumors have not significantly changed over the last 20 years; surgery (from biopsy to total resection) still represents the primary option for both benign and malign neoplasms, with the exception of some pituitary adenomas. Despite advances in technology and knowledge, prognosis has not dramatically changed either.

The identification of novel potential targets for therapy and diagnosis is therefore strongly needed.

This Special Issue aims to collect original papers demonstrating possible novel targets for diagnosing or treating intracranial tumors, including, but not limited to, gliomas, schwannomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, and metastases.
