Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The incidence of cancer is increasing worldwide. As a noninvasive alternative to surgery, radiosurgery uses high-energy X-rays or protons to destroy tumors. As one of the treatment modalities, radiosurgery plays a crucial role in managing malignant brain tumors. Radiosurgery can also be used for the effective treatment of benign brain tumors such as meningiomas or pituitary adenoma.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses many precisely focused radiation beams for the accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to the surrounding organs at risk, such as healthy brain tissue, brain stem, chiasm, optic nerves, eyes, the cochlea, and pituitary gland. Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has significantly improved the delineation of brain tumors and has allowed for progress to be made in terms of irradiation using magnetic resonance linac (MRL).
We cordially invite you to submit your cutting-edge research and review articles to this Special Issue, which aims to encompass new research articles and timely reviews on all aspects of brain tumors’ radiosurgery treatment with photons or protons.
Dr. Anna Petoukhova
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
