Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last years, we have been spectators of an evolution in the field of thoracic tumors treatment.
In oncologic area, target therapies and immunotherapy are modifying the disease course, obtaining an improvement of prognosis. Moreover, loco-regional treatments are focusing on increasingly minimally invasive approaches. Certainly, the innovation is the foundation of these important changes, with an impact on medical practice, patient prognosis and quality of life.
We are pleased to invite you to participate to this Special Issue on the innovation in the treatment of thoracic cancers. This special issue aims to give an overview of the most recent innovation in surgical, oncological, pathological and radiotherapy field in the treatment of lung, pleural and mediastinal tumors.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: new surgical techniques, additional application of surgical approaches, targeted and biomarker-driven treatments, precision medicine, innovation in pathological analysis, future directions in radiotherapy and technological evolution in cancer therapy.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
