Head and Neck Cancer: Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The landscape of head and neck cancer diagnosis and treatment has evolved significantly in recent years. Advances in imaging techniques, molecular diagnostics, and liquid biopsy have improved the early detection and characterization of these tumors, enabling more precise and personalized care. At the same time, surgical innovations, refined radiotherapy approaches, and the integration of immunotherapy have expanded therapeutic options and improved outcomes. Multidisciplinary care has become a cornerstone in managing these complex diseases, ensuring that patients benefit from coordinated expertise across specialties.

Despite this progress, challenges remain, particularly in detecting disease at earlier stages, tailoring therapy to individual tumor biology, and minimizing long-term functional and quality-of-life impairments. Continuous innovation and clinical research are therefore essential to advance standards of care and optimize patient outcomes.

In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions that highlight recent advances in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cancers, including developments in imaging, biomarkers, surgical and non-surgical therapies, and multidisciplinary strategies.
