Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of “Childhood Cancer in the Genomic Era: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches”.
I would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue featuring in the journal Cancers, which aims to present recent developments in the field of childhood cancer from all perspectives, including both experimental and theoretical ones.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the modern world. Childhood cancer is particularly significant, both due to the sensitivity of this population but most importantly due to the devastating effects that the disease has on children. Modern tools and methodologies enable the discovery and detection of a plethora of molecules, helping us to understand tumor mechanics, especially during childhood. With this in mind, the present Special Issue is dedicated to the description and study of childhood cancer from all aspects. These include but are not limited to gene expression (including all available methods), protein expression, modeling, systems analysis and biology, bioinformatics approaches, epidemiology, mutation analyses, metabolomics, epigenetics, big data in tumor biology and research, theoretical aspects of modeling in childhood neoplasms, the bioethics of childhood genomic research, etc.
Thus, I would like to invite you to submit your research on this topic in the form of original research papers, mini-reviews, and perspective articles.
Dr. George I. Lambrou
Guest Editor
