Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditionally, pathologists have been regarded as the gatekeepers of cancer diagnostics. In the rapidly evolving era of targeted therapy, pathology has evolved into one of the cornerstones of precision cancer medicine. The advances in molecular biology have tremendously affected the practice of pathology, transforming it from a solely morphology-based discipline into a molecular-based one. Molecular testing in pathological specimens is increasingly being incorporated into daily practice, serving not only as a tool for the accurate diagnosis, but also for the assessment of clinically relevant biomarkers with prognostic and predictive value to tailor therapeutic interventions (next generation pathology).
This Special Issue aims to focus on advanced diagnostic approaches, cancer biomarkers and molecular tests in cancer pathology. We are happy to invite pathologists and researchers to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case reports to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Georgia Levidou
Guest Editor
