Childhood Cancer in the Genomic Era: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches

Dear Colleagues,

I invite you to contribute to the Special Issue of the journal Cancers entitled “Childhood Cancer in the Genomic Era: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches”, which aims to present recent developments in the field of childhood cancer from all perspectives, including both experimental and theoretical.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the modern world. Childhood cancer in particular is a special case, first of all due to the sensitivity of this population but most importantly due to the devastating effects the disease has on children. Modern tools and methodologies allow the discovery and detection of a plethora of molecules toward the unraveling of tumor mechanics and therefore of childhood tumor mechanics. In that sense, the present Special Issue is dedicated to the description and study of childhood cancer from all its aspects. These include but are not limited to gene expression (including all available methods), protein expression, modeling, systems analysis and biology, bioinformatics approaches, epidemiology, mutation analyses, metabolomics, epigenetics, big data in tumor biology and research, theoretical aspects of modeling in childhood neoplasms, bioethics of childhood genomic research, etc.

Thus, I invite you to submit your research on this topic, in the form of original research papers, mini-reviews, and perspective articles.
