Biomarkers and Therapy Targets in Urologic Cancer

This special issue belongs to the section “Cancer Biology and Oncology“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The incidence of urologic cancers has been continuously rising over the past few years, with prostate cancer having become the most prevalent cancer in men in the US today. However, treatment of urogenital malignancies is still very broad. Personalized therapy, as it is already largely practiced, e.g., in melanoma or GIST tumors, only plays a very small role in our field, mostly due to the lack of specific prognostic or predictive markers and targeted therapies. This issue of Biomedicines will therefore specifically address such new therapies and potential markers, possibly bringing GU tumor therapy to the next level.
