Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome you to contribute to this Special Issue dedicated to "Advance Research in Imaging-Guided Cancer Therapy". Imaging-guided cancer therapy represents a paradigm shift in oncology, enabling the precise visualization of tumors and their microenvironment, thus empowering clinicians to tailor treatment strategies with unprecedented accuracy. From early detection and diagnosis to treatment planning, monitoring, and response assessment, imaging techniques play a pivotal role at every stage of the cancer care continuum. Moreover, by integrating imaging modalities with therapeutic interventions, such as targeted drug delivery, radiotherapy, and minimally invasive procedures, researchers are ushering in a new era of personalized, precision medicine.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in imaging-guided cancer therapy, highlighting groundbreaking research and technological innovations that promise to shape the future of oncology. Through a collection of original research articles and reviews, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in this rapidly evolving field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel imaging techniques for cancer detection, characterization, and staging;
- Image-guided interventions for minimally invasive cancer treatment;
- Theranostic agents and multimodal imaging approaches;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning in imaging analysis and interpretation;
- Image-based biomarkers for treatment response prediction and prognosis;
- Translation of imaging-guided therapies from bench to bedside;
- Challenges and opportunities in clinical implementation and validation;
- Ethical, regulatory, and socioeconomic considerations in imaging-guided cancer care.
We invite researchers to contribute their original research and insights to this Special Issue, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange in the pursuit of improved outcomes for cancer patients.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
