Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cancer mortality rate—the number of deaths due to cancer per 100,000 people per year—among children and adolescents younger than 20 years declined by more than 50% from 1975 to 2022. It dropped from 5.1 per 100,000 children and adolescents in 1975 to 2.2 per 100,000 children and adolescents in 2022. Reasons for this success are risk stratification according to molecular profiling, modern diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, such as MRI imaging, proton beam therapy, targeted therapy, immunological approaches, and others.
The special issue on “Pediatric Tumors: Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Outcome” wants to present the wide range of pediatric oncological diseases and current approaches in diagnosis, treatment .
