Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the field of surgical oncology, histopathologic diagnosis plays a pivotal role in guiding clinical decisions, ensuring accurate treatment plans, and, ultimately, optimizing patient outcomes. Immunohistochemistry, molecular diagnostics, and digital pathology have revolutionized our ability to subtype tumors, predict patient responses, and enhance diagnostic accuracy.
Histopathology, the study of microscopic changes in tissue resulting from disease, is a cornerstone of cancer diagnosis. Surgical oncologists rely heavily on histopathologic reports to determine the type, grade, and extent of a tumor, as well as to assess the presence of metastatic disease. These reports are often the deciding factor in determining whether a patient receives surgical resection, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these modalities.
This Special Issue aims to improve our knowledge of the latest progress in histopathologic diagnosis in surgical oncology, providing valuable insights for medical professionals and researchers. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Francesca Ambrosi
Guest Editor
