Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cutaneous malignant neoplasms comprise a wide and varied group of tumors that often represent a challenge for both clinicians and researchers. The spectrum of tumors involving the skin encompasses indolent and very aggressive neoplasms arising from distinct lineages and with very different clinical presentations and therapeutic approaches.
This Special Issue will focus on the pathological features of tumors involving skin. Histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular aspects used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction of these entities, along with research on the mechanisms of pathogenesis, will be covered. Original research and review topics on dermatopathology and basic, and translational research of cutaneous neoplasms (squamous, adnexal, melanocytic, hematolymphoid, mesenchymal, neural) will be included in a broad but also deep showcase of what is current and novel in cutaneous neoplasms.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Carlos Torres-Cabala
