Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of "Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Genitourinary Cancers", https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/303JT7BB09
Genitourinary cancers are diseases increasingly occurring in populations, the diagnosis and treatment of which are currently undergoing fast and sometimes dramatic changes, due to the current landscape of the suboptimal management of these diseases. A characteristic feature of urological cancers’ treatment is the significant heterogeneity of patients (including different stages of local advancement, different locations of metastases, the heterogeneity of pathological findings, etc.). Therefore, predicting the response to modern treatment remains the unmet need of modern urologic oncology. New diagnostic methods, including, but not limited to, point-of-care diagnostics, represent a challenge to current guidelines and require a verification process. Further development is awaited as far as sufficient neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments in perioperative settings are concerned. Recent advancements in systematic treatments, i.e., immunotherapy, shed additional light on new treatment paradigms to be implemented in various clinical scenarios, including localized disease. Finally, the recent progress in the minimally invasive surgical techniques leads to the revision of concepts on the treatment of many urological tumors.
This Special Issue aims to cover novel approaches in genitourinary cancers. We opt for original papers and reviews relating to advances in the treatment of male genitourinary cancers.
