Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that hormones contribute immensely not only to normal tissue/cell functions but also to the development of various disorders. Tumors arising from endocrine organs and neuroendocrine neoplasms produce active hormones and cause various clinical symptoms. Endocrine-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancers are common malignant neoplasms worldwide, and hormones are locally produced and act in cancer tissues. In recent years, new techniques have been developed to visualize hormonal dynamics, and new light is being shed on the diagnosis of endocrine-related tumors. Moreover, a detailed investigation of hormonal actions will lead to the development of a new therapeutic strategy for endocrine-related tumors. This Special Issue will be reviewed by experts in this field and encompass new research articles and timely reviews regarding hormones and tumors.
