Special Issue Information
Dear Collleagues,
Salivary gland tumors (SGTs), encompassing both benign and malignant forms, present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their rarity, histological diversity, and complex anatomical location. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the management of SGCs, spanning cutting-edge diagnostic imaging techniques, molecular insights, and innovative treatment approaches.
This Special Issue aims to explore the role of advanced imaging modalities, such as MRI, CT, and PET scans, in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, staging, and treatment planning. Particular focus will be given to the integration of artificial intelligence in image analysis and the identification of novel biomarkers for improved prognosis.
In addition, contributions are welcome to delve into the molecular underpinnings of SGCs, examining genetic and epigenetic alterations that pave the way for personalized medicine. In this Special Issue, we also aim to highlight the progress made in surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, and the use of reconstructive surgery to optimize patient outcomes. Emerging therapies, such as targeted treatments, immunotherapy, and advancements in radiation oncology, are also likely to be key topics.
This Special Issue aims to collate multidisciplinary perspectives from oncology, radiology, surgery, pathology, and molecular biology to address the complexities of SGCs. By fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing, this collection aims to advance our understanding and the management of salivary gland cancers, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
