Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Significant efforts to improve disease diagnosis and treatment are currently underway, with the aim of improving patients’ health, quality of life, and survival. Previously, sarcomas, representing a minority of cancer diagnoses in children and adults, received less attention from the medical community. However, over the last two decades, there has been a clear and impressive increase in knowledge on sarcoma biology, histology, adjuvant therapies, and surgical procedures. As a result, health care quality and patients’ survival and daily living activities have been greatly improved. This is the result of the combined work of researchers in basic science and in clinical settings.
Our aim in launching this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current landscape of treatment and diagnosis in sarcoma in both children and adults and to provide directions for future investigations.
