Emerging Treatment Options for Skull Base Tumors and Related Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Skull base tumors and related diseases refer to a group of conditions characterized by the growth of abnormal cells or tissues in the skull base region. These tumors can arise from various structures, including the bones, nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues of the skull base. Skull base diseases represent a complex and challenging interdisciplinary field, where the modern approach to diagnosis, imaging and therapy involves an interdisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, otorhinolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, neuroradiologists, and radiation therapy specialists. Currently, significant progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of skull base tumors and related diseases. However, the treatment of skull base tumors and related diseases remains challenging due to their location near complex and vital structures. Early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and long-term follow-up are crucial for the prognosis of patients.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions of relevant reviews, literature reviews, perspectives, and clinical research manuscripts.
