Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The early detection and risk stratification of uro-oncology tumours are being driven by novel biomarkers and advanced imaging techniques. These innovations are transforming the diagnosis and management of urological tumours, providing deeper insights into disease mechanisms and enabling more precise and personalized treatment strategies.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled "Innovative Biomarkers and Imaging Techniques for the Early Detection and Risk Stratification of Urological Tumours". This Special Issue aims to provide a detailed exploration of the current landscape and future directions in the early detection and risk stratification of urological tumours, focusing on the integration of novel diagnostic technologies and their impact on clinical outcomes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include novel biomarkers in blood, urine, and tissue with significant potential for clinical application, providing a benefit for the early detection, prognosis, and risk stratification of urological tumours. In addition, we invite manuscripts that address the potential, challenges, and future prospects of incorporating advanced imaging techniques in uro-oncology. This includes the exploration of multimodal imaging approaches and their synergy with novel biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
Manuscripts that explore the integration of these novel biomarkers and imaging modalities into clinical workflows and their potential to improve patient stratification and therapeutic decision making are particularly encouraged.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Magdalena Görtz
