Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of the Special Issue “Novel Insights into Glioblastoma and Brain Metastases”, available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/UOW92IR7VI.
Glioblastoma is an aggressive grade IV brain tumor leading to severe fatalities globally. Moreover, several cancers lead to brain metastasis which is a major cause of mortality. Tackling these conditions has several challenges, with the most important being the blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Significant research is required to overcome these challenges. With surgery and radiation therapy being the major treatment strategy for brain tumors, intensive research has also been conducted on chemotherapies. Targeted therapies are currently being developed with beneficial effects in cancers such as colorectal, breast, lung, and melanoma. Radiation therapy has also proven to be quite successful against brain metastasis. Thus, in this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute your work concerning glioblastoma, novel insights into its treatment and management, and different cancers leading to brain metastasis. This Special Issue aims to highlight all types of work, such as clinical, pre-clinical, translational, and basic research. We invite both original research articles and review articles in this Special Issue. This critical topic would appeal to a number of scientists and clinicians in the field. The articles may include (but are not limited to) treatment, management, diagnosis, clinical trials, and molecular insights for glioblastoma and brain metastasis caused by different cancers such as breast, melanoma, renal, lung, and colorectal, etc.
