Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in molecular pathology and imaging technologies and their application in precision oncology. Modern cancer diagnosis and treatment planning increasingly rely on a multi-faceted approach that integrates traditional histopathology with a deeper understanding of molecular biomarkers and advanced imaging techniques. This approach allows for a more detailed classification of tumors and the development of personalized treatment strategies. The Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research on new methods for tumor classification, predictive biomarker evaluation, and the use of digital pathology and artificial intelligence in cancer diagnosis and treatment. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including the use of multi-omics data, advanced imaging modalities, and the intersection of these technologies to improve diagnostic accuracy, predict treatment response, and monitor disease progression.
