Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A large body of literature heralds the potential benefits of precision medicine—a paradigm that uses individual variation in genes, environment, and lifestyle to improve disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Breast cancer has been at the forefront of precision medicine. However, precision medicine approaches to breast cancer prevention have lagged behind advances in treatment. Expanding our ability to tailor and implement effective preventive interventions is necessary to fully realize the promise of precision medicine for public health. We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue on breast cancer precision medicine as it relates to cancer prevention, screening, and early detection. This Special Issue aims to showcase epidemiological, clinical, and translational research that moves the field toward the precision prevention of breast cancer. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: improved risk assessment tools, novel biomarkers of risk, chemoprevention, genetic susceptibility, impact of precision medicine on health disparities, relevant data integration and analytic methods, and the implementation of precision prevention strategies. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Anne Marie McCarthy
Guest Editor
