Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Diagnostic Markers of Genitourinary Tumors," aims to explore the latest advancements in the field of diagnostic markers for genitourinary (GU) tumors and their application in routine practice. Genitourinary cancers, including those affecting the bladder, kidneys, prostate, and testes, present significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. This SI will focus on novel biomarkers, imaging techniques, molecular assays, and other diagnostic tools that allow early detection, refine prognostication, and tailor personalized treatment strategies for GU tumors, with a particular interest in immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, in situ hybridization, DNA- and RNA-based techniques, and proteomics. By highlighting cutting-edge research and clinical applications, this Special Issue aims to advance the field of GU oncology, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes. In this setting, we look forward to receiving high-quality original articles, reviews, and case reports/case series. Papers dealing with the application of digital imaging systems and artificial intelligence to the field of diagnostics are particularly welcome.
