Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Breast cancer remains a significant global health challenge, but recent advancements in research and treatment have dramatically improved outcomes for many patients. This Special Issue will explore cutting-edge innovations that are transforming breast cancer care, including the following:
- Precision medicine: Tailoring treatment based on individual tumour characteristics, such as genetic mutations and molecular subtypes, is revolutionizing breast cancer care.
- Immunotherapy: Harnessing the power of the immune system to fight cancer, including checkpoint inhibitors and immune cell therapies, offers promising new avenues for treatment.
- Targeted therapies: These drugs specifically target cancer cells and their supporting pathways, minimizing harm to healthy tissues.
- Early detection and screening: Advances in imaging technologies and screening techniques are improving early detection and enabling earlier, more effective treatment.
- Personalized medicine: Integrating patient preferences, lifestyle factors, and social determinants of health into treatment plans is crucial in improving overall patient outcomes.
For this Special Issue, we invite papers sharing new basic and translational research findings, clinical trials, and emerging technologies that are shaping the future of breast cancer care and offer hope for improved survival and quality of life for patients.
