Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgical oncology is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field at the intersection of innovative diagnostics, precision surgical techniques, and personalized medicine. This Special Issue, “Current Diagnosis and Treatment in Surgical Oncology”, aims to showcase the latest that are shaping modern cancer care.
Recent innovations in imaging modalities—including CT, MRI, and PET—have significantly enhanced tumor detection, staging accuracy, and postoperative monitoring. Minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as robotic and laparoscopic procedures, have transformed treatment paradigms by reducing complications, shortening recovery, and maintaining oncologic efficacy.
The integration of targeted therapies and immunotherapies into multimodal treatment strategies is expanding the scope and timing of surgical intervention. Meanwhile, emerging technologies like genomic profiling, liquid biopsies, and AI-driven surgical planning are reshaping the future of surgical oncology. AI applications, in particular, are contributing to improved preoperative decision-making, enhanced intraoperative precision, and more accurate postoperative prognostication. Likewise, molecular diagnostics are enabling increasingly tailored therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and clinical case reports that explore state-of-the-art techniques, multidisciplinary approaches, and novel technologies in surgical oncology. We welcome contributions that address both clinical practice and translational science, with the goal of advancing surgical outcomes and setting the foundation for the next era of precision oncology.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Faithfully,
Dr. Spiros Delis
Guest Editor
