Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, cancer treatment has undergone remarkable developments, and the results of basic research are actually utilized in the clinical treatment.
Advances in molecular targeted therapies targeting driver mutations have transformed from cancer therapies that have relied on previous rules of thumb to therapies that can reasonably expect to be effective.
In recent years, technological innovations in different fields, such as informatics, AI, and next-generation sequencing, as well as the development of research infrastructure, such as cohorts, have led to the dramatic promotion of cancer research and the dramatic transformation of cancer medicine, making individual-appropriate prevention and medical treatment a reality.
Additional expectations are gathered for bridging research that will connect basic research with clinical practice and aim to establish new diagnoses and treatments.
On the other hand, with the advent of novel therapies and the aging of society, cancers that are also resistant to molecular targeted therapies and immunotherapies, cancers that arise in combination with multiple diseases such as diabetes and chronic inflammation, and cancers that should coexist until congenital life, the number of cancers that could not have existed before is increasing.
This Special Issue is calling for both original articles and reviews which provide a comprehensive elucidation about novel therapeutic strategies for cancer for developing novel research approaches as well as therapeutic strategies.
