Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the forthcoming Special Issue of Cancers, entitled Digital Pathology in Precision Oncology: Emerging Tools for Diagnosis and Treatment Guidance. This Special Issue will focus on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computational methodologies on biomedical diagnostics and treatment-related decision-making.
As Guest Editors, we are pleased to invite researchers, clinicians, and thought leaders from dermatology, oncology, pathology, and related disciplines to contribute original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case-based reports.
This Special Issue seeks to showcase pioneering work that applies AI algorithms, machine learning models, and computational pathology tools to precision oncology. We look forward to receiving your contributions, which will aid in advancing the scientific discourse in and shaping the future of precision oncology and dermatology.
Dr. Daniela Hartmann
Dr. Maximilian Deussing
