Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite significant advances in machine-learning approaches to imaging analysis, their integration into everyday clinical workflows remains limited. The focus of this Special Issue is the practical integration of imaging AI tools into real-world clinical workflows for gliomas. Such applications encompass a range of clinical utilities, from diagnosis and classification to prognostication, surgical planning and radiation oncology. Relevant studies would focus on the deployment of AI tools in real clinical workflow and hospital environments, addressing technical challenges such as software interoperability, workflow integration and clinician adoption. Emphasis is placed on demonstrated clinical impact: for example, AI-assisted tumor segmentations embedded in PACS to streamline radiology workflows or AI-guided tools that enhance surgical resection and radiotherapy planning. Such implementations illustrate how integrating AI can improve efficiency and decision-making, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes in neuro-oncologic care.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
