Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer pathology and pathogenesis refer to the study of the structural and functional changes that occur in cells and tissues affected by cancer. Pathologists analyze a wide spectrum of tissue samples, including biopsies, surgical resections, and cytopathology and autopsy samples, to make pathological diagnoses and provide important information to guide clinical treatment and management, which significantly improves a patient’s care and outcome. An enhanced awareness and recognition of novel pathologic entities and their underlying pathogenesis, as well as an in-depth understanding of the clinical behavior of diseases, will be very helpful for the development of targeted therapies. The aim of this Special Issue is to increase the awareness and understanding of pathologists and clinicians regarding pathologic diagnosis and its pitfalls to prevent over- or under-diagnoses and the overtreatment of a variety of human cancer types. Contributions to this Special Issue may be, therefore, related, but not limited to, immunohistochemical staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and DNA and RNA next-generation sequencing (NGS).
The article types of these submissions could be, but are not limited to, research articles, reviews, interesting images, or editorial comments.
I would like to invite you to submit your cutting-edge work and look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Dong Ren
Guest Editor
