Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the progress in the survival of breast cancer (BrC) patients, there is an urgent need to better understand the mechanisms of cancer progression, recurrence and drug resistance for the development of novel preventive and therapeutic approaches for controlling BrC spread.
This Special Issue is a focused collection of papers on “Breast Cancer: From Pathophysiology to Novel Therapeutic Approaches". It provides an effective way to communicate the current knowledge about the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of BrC and/or suggesting new targets for possible future therapeutical interventions. It is aimed at providing an ample scope for new ideas on how to block or weaken cancer progression to its final stage.
In the current series, we invite papers from basic research, translational research and clinical studies on all aspects of possible targetable mechanisms leading to effective interventions in the future.
Dr. Ľuba Hunáková
Guest Editor
