Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The goal of this Special Issue is to summarize new knowledge in breast cancer signaling and its implications for developing new therapeutics. There have been significant developments in managing breast cancer and metastatic progression in the last decade. This Special Issue will focus on reviewing recent clinical trial data that indicate the effectiveness of chemotherapy combinations with immunotherapies. We will entertain manuscripts focused on addressing the challenges in bringing new biomarkers from benchside to bedside. This Special Issue will address the concerns of breast cancer patient advocates in regard to current practices of breast cancer treatments. Overall, the Special Issue will serve as a common platform for basic scientists, bioinformaticians, statisticians, and surgical oncologists to discuss the recent advances in new breast cancer therapies that can promote an agenda for key research needs in this area for the next 5–10 years.
All research article submissions should involve research at the molecular level in addition to well-found verified experiments. Clinical trials and animal as well as cell testing are eligible only if they are strongly needed to support hypotheses or theories concerning structure–function correlations, and are not suitable if no molecular aspects are considered.
Prof. Dr. Mary Lou Cutler
Guest Editor
