Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Advancements in early diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment options are critical in improving patient outcomes. This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research and reviews focusing on precision medicine, early detection technologies, risk prediction models, and the integration of artificial intelligence into diagnostic workflows. We welcome contributions exploring innovative therapeutic strategies, advances in image analysis, and preventative measures in breast cancer management. By consolidating these efforts, this Special Issue will advance our understanding and clinical management of breast cancer, aligning with the journal’s mission to foster impactful oncological research.
We are happy to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Early Diagnosis and Minimally Invasive Management in Breast Cancer". Breast cancer remains one of the main causes of oncological mortality among women worldwide. Although there has been significant progress, there are still numerous obstacles complicating early detection and the optimization of minimally invasive treatment approaches. Emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and precision medicine, have entered the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape, opening up new and promising avenues which could soon optimize patient outcomes. This Special Issue will explore some of these improvements in depth and facilitate a dialogue among researchers and clinicians in this critical area.
For this Special Issue, we invite high-quality contributions sharing innovative approaches to the early diagnosis and minimally invasive management of breast cancer. Possible topics include new frontiers in precision medicine, updates to risk prediction models, and the integration of advanced technologies, such as AI and modern imaging.
This fits well with the scope of the journal Cancers, which is focused on the quality and translational impact of oncology research in clinical practice. We plan to publish at least 10 articles, with the aim of curating a collection that is multi-disciplinary and further advances the study of breast cancer.
For this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and review articles.
Possible research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Precision medicine and personalized approaches in breast cancer care;
- Innovative techniques in early detection and cancer screening;
- Minimally invasive therapeutic strategies;
- Artificial intelligence applications in diagnosis and treatment planning;
- Advanced imaging and image analysis methods;
- Risk prediction and prevention models.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and to advancing our understanding and management of breast cancer through this collaborative effort.
