Advances in Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and innovations in the diagnosis of lung cancer. Lung cancer remains one of the most challenging cancers to diagnose and treat, necessitating continual improvements in diagnostic methodologies to enhance early detection, accuracy, and personalized care. This Special Issue will explore a wide range of cutting-edge topics, from the integration of artificial intelligence and robotic technologies in diagnostic procedures to the development of novel biomarkers and imaging techniques.

This collection of articles aims to inform and guide healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers in their efforts to enhance lung cancer diagnostic practices and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Developments in low-dose CT screening;
2. Biomarkers for nodule risk assessment;
3. Artificial intelligence in lung cancer diagnosis;
4. Robotic bronchoscopy;
5. Intra-procedural bronchoscopic imaging;
6. Advances in endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS);
7. Quality indicators in lung cancer diagnosis;
8. Molecular and genetic profiling for personalized diagnosis;
9. Optimizing tissue acquisition for molecular and genetic profiling of lung cancer.
