Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the many improvements in its diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer remains a major public health issue for most countries, particularly in the Western world. The development of new treatment combinations and the introduction of new families of active agents, together with the potential identification of more homogeneous subgroups of patients based on precision medicine data, has created a novel research area attracting the interest of both scientists and patients, in the pursuit of more effective treatments and a better understanding of the disease itself. We are pleased to invite submissions focusing on current trends in the treatment of all stages of breast cancer, including chemotherapy and novel agents.We welcome manuscripts in the following formats:·
- Original research;
- Basic research;
- Translational and clinical research; ·
- Review articles; ·
- Short communications; ·
- Case reports;
We are looking forward to your contributions.
Dr. Eleni Timotheadou
Guest Editor
