Prognostic Factors in Urologic Cancers—Assessment and Integration into Clinical Care

Dear Colleagues,

As urological oncology is constantly advancing and offering additional options for cancer care, it is becoming ever more demanding. Which therapy is the most effective for a specific condition and is especially the most effective for a specific patient in such a specific condition? Individual therapy guidance and management is required to obtain the care each patient requires; in short, personalized medicine is required. The key to such personalized medicine is the assessment and interpretation of risk factors defining the outcome of urological cancers and their integration into clinical management. Molecular markers, clinical parameters impacting surgical and medical therapy, histopathology, and socio-economic factors shape the outcome of this, but we need to understand much more. While there will be no such thing as an equation for uranological management, we should try to keep up the pace. We invite you to contribute original data, meta-analyses, and reviews which deal with prognostic factors in urological cancers to this Special Issue.
