Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of a previous one, “Oncogenes in Cancer”.
The first oncogenes were discovered more than three decades ago. Since then, remarkable development has been achieved by the scientific community unraveling the biological impact of these oncogenes in the development and progression of different neoplasms as well as their potential clinical applicability in the design of targeted therapies. All this knowledge has made it possible to conceive of the personalized treatment of cancer.
In this Special Issue entitled “Oncogenes in Cancer”, we approach the role of actionable genomic somatic alterations able to drive different solid tumors, their biological context, and the different therapeutic strategies evaluated.
This Special Issue is conceived as a comprehensive review of the most frequently present oncogenes in major solid malignancies, updating the most relevant advances leading to the development and eventual approval of new targeted therapeutic compounds.
Dr. Ignacio Gil-Bazo
Guest Editor
