Urologic Oncology: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Urologic cancer research is a dynamic and critical field dedicated to unraveling the characteristics of tumors affecting the genitourinary system. Its primary aim is to advance our understanding of urologic cancer in order to improve the management of these complex diseases.

Researchers tirelessly explore the intricate genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of urological cancers, paving the way for personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Robotic surgery has become widespread, being already a cornerstone in the treatment of many urologic malignancies. Continuous efforts are being conducted by scientists to improve the accuracy of diagnostic tools, the efficacy and safety of medical treatments, the outcomes of surgical techniques, and, ultimately, the patients' prognosis and quality of life.

In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on recent advances and future perspectives regarding epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and/or treatment of the main urologic tumors.
