Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute original research, reviews, and expert perspectives to an upcoming Special Issue of our Current Oncology titled “Advances in Endocrine Therapy for Breast Cancer.” This Special Issue will highlight emerging discoveries and innovations shaping the future of hormone-responsive breast cancer care.
Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, the most common subtype, has a long history of successful treatment using endocrine therapies in both the early and advanced stages of disease. Rapid progress, including novel SERDs, targeted combinations, biomarkers of resistance, and evolving strategies for treatment sequencing, has created an exciting and fast-moving field.
For this Special Issue, we welcome manuscripts focusing on recent advancements in novel endocrine agents, mechanisms, and detection of endocrine resistance, translational and biomarker research, toxicity mitigation and survivorship, disparities in care, and advancements in both metastatic and early disease settings. We also welcome systematic reviews, cost-effectiveness studies, and research into patient-reported outcomes.
We hope you will consider submitting your research and contributing to this Special Issue advancing endocrine therapy research and patient care.
