Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain tumors pose a unique challenge for patients and providers due to the intricate nature of the brain and the aggressive molecular biology of many brain cancers. Despite substantial research investment, the treatment of malignant brain tumors has only seen minimal progress over the past four decades. This urgent need underscores the imperative for innovative technologies in diagnosis, imaging, surgery, and adjuvant treatment.
This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge tools and techniques that have the potential to revolutionize these areas. Advanced diagnostic techniques including the use of liquid biopsies and biomarkers will be presented. It will delve into advanced imaging techniques, such as the use of artificial intelligence for molecular subtype diagnosis, and intraoperative methods that enhance outcomes, minimize risks, and provide immediate diagnostic insights. Additionally, the Special Issue will showcase new and effective therapeutic approaches, including targeted therapy and minimally invasive, less toxic, and more effective treatments.
By providing readers with unique tools and therapies, this Special Issue seeks to empower them in the pursuit of more effective diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors.
Prof. Dr. David S. Baskin
