Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Surgery for Endocrine Cancers”, we invite submissions detailing recent advancements in surgery for thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The issue will serve as a comprehensive platform for sharing innovative techniques, clinical outcomes and future directions in endocrine surgery. We welcome a wide range of articles, from reviews on novel surgical approaches, intraoperative imaging and navigation to clinical studies examining important oncological outcomes. These outcomes include but are not limited to survival rates, recurrence, margin status, complication prevention and postoperative recovery. Comparative analyses of robotic, laparoscopic and open surgical techniques are also encouraged, along with investigations into cost-effectiveness, training methods, ethical considerations and implementation in diverse healthcare systems. By integrating clinical evidence with technical innovation, this Special Issue will showcase the field's current achievements and chart its future course. Our goal is to highlight key developments and advance best practices, thereby improving surgical outcomes for patients with endocrine cancers.
