Oncology: State-of-the-Art Research and Initiatives in Japan

Dear Colleagues, 

In recent years, there has been great progress in the treatment of cancer, especially in pharmacotherapy, and the prognosis of patients with many types of cancer has dramatically improved. Many studies originating in Japan have contributed greatly to its progress, and there are many original studies and initiatives underway today that are precise and sensitive enough to be uniquely Japanese to be proud of in the world.

In this Special Issue, we call for original research articles and review articles on high-quality basic research and clinical research originating from Japan. Moreover, we also welcome articles on research and initiatives related to cancer patient support and survivorship, which are becoming increasingly important in the era of long-term survival.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
