Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on skin cancers. We invite high-quality research addressing the following topics:
- Updates on different pathologies of skin cancers;
- The prevention, early detection, and management of skin cancers, with a particular focus on recent advances;
- Rare skin cancers;
- Genetics of skin cancers;
- The role of cell-free DNA and liquid biopsies;
- Immunotherapy and targeted therapies.
We welcome original articles and reviews that bridge translational research and real-world practice, particularly studies highlighting patient-centered outcomes or health disparities in skin cancer.
