Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful completion of the Special Issue “Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer”, we are pleased to announce the launch of its second volume. Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and ongoing advances in diagnosis and treatment continue to reshape clinical practice.
This second volume aims to build upon the foundation laid in the first, providing an updated overview of current trends and approaches in the diagnosis and management of lung cancer. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel imaging and diagnostic technologies;
- Screening and early detection strategies;
- Histopathology and molecular biomarkers;
- Minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic approaches;
- Multidisciplinary management and risk reduction;
- Real-world implementation of emerging guidelines and therapies.
We welcome all article types considered by Diagnostics, including original research, reviews, guidelines, and protocols. We invite researchers and clinicians to contribute their work to this Special Issue and look forward to another impactful volume that supports improved patient care in lung cancer.
