Advanced Diagnosis and Integrated Management of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will showcase cutting-edge research and clinical insights in the multidisciplinary field of bone and soft tissue tumor diagnosis and management, covering both benign and malignant tumors, such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and liposarcoma. The main focus areas will include 1) novel diagnostic techniques, such as advanced imaging, molecular/genomic profiling, and AI-assisted pathological diagnosis; 2) unique case reports highlighting rare cases, diagnostic challenges, or innovative treatment approaches; and 3) translational research linking laboratory findings with clinical practice, prognostic markers, and personalized treatment strategies. We welcome original research, systematic reviews, clinical trials, and case studies, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration (orthopedic oncology, radiology, pathology, and medical oncology). This Special Issue will serve as a comprehensive resource for clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving the prognosis of patients with bone and soft tissue tumors. Additionally, we encourage submissions exploring the role of emerging technologies, such as liquid biopsy, circulating tumor cells, and single-cell sequencing, in the context of bone and soft tissue tumor diagnosis and management.
