Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Cancers invites submissions of all original research and review articles related to the development and validation of clinically relevant biomarkers for oral cancer and oropharyngeal cancer, which is a current knowledge gap in the field.
This Special Issue aims to discover and validate biomarkers for oral cancer and oropharyngeal cancer.
In this Special Issue on oral cancer and oropharyngeal cancer, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Genetic and epigenetic markers of clinical relevance;
- Long non-coding RNAs as novel biomarkers;
- Novel biomarkers for HPV-associated and HPV-unrelated oropharyngeal cancer;
- Circulating tumour cells, cell-free tumour DNA, and exosomes;
- Immune biomarkers;
- Tumour-infiltrating immune cells as biomarkers;
- Emerging approaches of theranostics;
- Clinical studies for the validation of biomarkers.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
