Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genitourinary (GU) malignancies represent a variety of tumors within the urinary and male reproductive systems, requiring individualized treatment plans to meet the distinct needs of each patient. Although most GU malignancies are well managed in the early stages, the advanced stages of many such cancers have a poor prognosis. Limited treatment options and poor prognosis represent an unmet need in advanced GU malignancies.
The development of novel therapies for advanced GU cancers relies on comprehension of underlying biological mechanisms, and several research efforts have focused on genomic profiling, diagnostic biomarkers, tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), and molecular pathways of oncogenesis.
The focus of this Special Issue is to consider research efforts pertaining to: (a) tumor biology, genomic characterization, and microenvironment; and (b) exploration of novel therapies in genitourinary malignancies.
