Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Manuscript submission is now open for a new article collection: “Advances in endocrine pediatric oncology”. As the Guest Editor, and on behalf of the editorial team, I invite you to submit your research to this collection.
The aim of the collection is to bring together the latest articles of the highest quality from researchers working in the area of endocrine cancer, especially those relating to pediatric patients.
Endocrine and neuroendocrine cancers represent heterogeneous diseases that are commonly onset from endocrine cells. These neoplasms are rare at all ages and, therefore, especially in the pediatric age, may be part of genetic syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) or type 2 (MEN 2A and MEN 2B), Von Hippel–Lindau disease, familial hyperparathyroidism, Carney complex disease, etc.
As rare diseases, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment are often challenging. Moreover, previous publications have concerned small series, and therefore only refer the expertise of single centers. However, in recent years, there has been an improvement in the biological and pathogenetic knowledge of these diseases and new effective drugs have been identified.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight current state-of-the-art approaches in addition to possible future perspectives related to epidemiological, diagnostic, prognostic, genetic and therapeutic approaches/innovations to endocrine pediatric cancer, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of the currently available therapies.
We welcome original articles, communications and reviews dealing with different aspects of endocrine pediatric cancer, with particular interest in innovative and original strategies.
The articles collected in this Special Issue will further enhance our knowledge and understanding of these rare pediatric cancers and drive the development of novel approaches.
