Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to announce the call for submissions to a Special Issue of Cancers, focusing on the latest advancements in dermato-oncology. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and innovative approaches in the field of skin cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management.
Dermato-oncology represents a crucial convergence between dermatology and oncology, addressing the complexities of skin cancer detection, prevention, and therapy. As skin cancer continues to pose significant global health challenges, this Special Issue seeks to explore novel strategies, emerging technologies, and groundbreaking treatments with the potential to transform the field.
We welcome the submission of original research articles and review papers covering a broad range of topics within dermato-oncology, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Advances in the molecular understanding of skin cancer;
- Emerging diagnostic tools and imaging techniques;
- Personalized treatment approaches and targeted therapies;
- Immunotherapeutic interventions for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers;
- Multidisciplinary approaches to skin cancer care;
- Psychosocial aspects and patient-centered care in dermato-oncology;
- Cutaneous lymphomas;
- Cutaneous toxicities of oncologic therapies.
All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure scientific excellence and relevance to the field. We encourage participation from researchers, clinicians, and experts dedicated to advancing our knowledge and improving patient outcomes in dermato-oncology.
By synthesizing the latest research insights and clinical experiences, this Special Issue aims to deepen our collective understanding of skin cancer management and foster the development of more effective and personalized treatment strategies. Your invaluable contributions are essential to the success of this initiative.
Should you have any questions, require further information, or need support with your submission, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to supporting and facilitating your involvement in this Special Issue.
We sincerely appreciate your attention to this significant topic and look forward to receiving your valuable research contributions.
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Agnieszka Żebrowska
