Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number of cancer cases increases every year. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and breast cancer is the most common among women. However, a worrying phenomenon is the very large increase in the incidence of other types of cancer, including colorectal cancer and cancers of the urinary system. In developed countries, they are the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases.
Rapidly developing cancer does not necessarily indicate that the patient's prognosis is poor. Many of these cancers can be successfully treated. However, there is a group of cancers that do not necessarily grow faster but are detected late, only after metastasis. Cancers that are detected early and properly treated do not have to be a judgement against which there is no appeal. Taking into account the above, this Special Issue aims to highlight new findings regarding biomarkers that could improve the early detection of cancer and assess their potential clinical application in rapid diagnosis during early stages of a developing disease. Tumor markers can be used in the early detection of cancer or during treatment to monitor its effectiveness and staging the cancer.
We are pleased to invite you to submit research and review articles related to the aim of this Special Issue.
