Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to the Special Issue “Pathology of Urologic Cancers”. The incidence of urological malignancies has increased significantly over the past 50 years. Despite advances in medical tumor therapy, the occurrence of chemoresistance and metastatic disease is a common cause of death in patients with urological malignancies. Thus, it is necessary to develop new therapeutic approaches that can improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. To this aim, we need a better understanding of the molecular changes occurring in urological tumors and the development of molecular biomarkers able to predict tumor behavior and risk of disease recurrence and chemoresistance.

This Special Issue of Cancers, therefore, welcomes original research articles and reviews related to urological malignancies. Communications, mini-reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are also welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Roberta Mazzucchelli
