Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to launch the second edition of the Special Issue "Quality and Clinical Outcomes Improvement in the Management of Oncology Patients" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/090SGNM3O8).
The processes used for analysis and quality improvement in clinical outcomes in the management of oncology patients, along with patient safety, continue to evolve at an increasingly rapid pace. In fact, over the years, novel concepts have arisen (such as risk stratification, shared decision making, interdisciplinary meetings, and prehabilitation), new initiatives have taken shape (such as state/nation-wide or international clinical databases), and new innovative treatments have emerged. In order to care for our patients, raise the standards of healthcare services, and be successful in today’s and tomorrow’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, understanding and advancing these fields represents an essential duty for all oncologists, surgeons, physicians, and other professionals whose work impacts oncology patients.
In this context, we call on oncologists, surgeons, physicians, and professionals from all disciplines involved in the perioperative pathways of oncology patients (including oncologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, radiologists, intensivists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, nurses, physiotherapists, and nutritionists) to contribute to this Special Issue. Our vision is to gather the most vital currently available evidence on this crucial topic, thus providing clinicians with all the necessary information regarding core concepts in the management of oncology patients.
Dr. Dimitrios E. Magouliotis
