Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of the previous one, entitled “Advances in Skin Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy: Research and Clinical Studies” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/R64Q4G0HWR).
Skin cancer remains a significant global health concern. Not only melanoma but also less deadly non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) continue to increase in incidence in the general population and pose challenges in terms of both research and clinical practice. In this Special Issue, we aim to bring together leading experts in the field of skin cancer and its diagnostic methods to share their groundbreaking findings. These articles should mainly focus on the ever more important connection of novel diagnostic tools, clinical applications, and artificial intelligence in a multidisciplinary context. Thank you for joining us on this journey where we aim to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in this field.
Dr. Cristel Ruini
Guest Editor
