Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Head and neck cancer (HNC) comprises a biologically diverse group of malignancies, presenting complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Recent advances in molecular profiling, imaging technologies, and minimally invasive surgical and therapeutic techniques are transforming the clinical landscape, allowing for more precise and personalized care. Early detection and accurate staging are critical to improving outcomes, while functional preservation and quality of life are increasingly prioritized treatment objectives. This Special Issue aims to showcase current evidence and emerging perspectives related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of HNC. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Innovations in surgical and non-surgical management;
- Biomarkers for risk stratification and therapeutic response;
- Strategies for surveillance and survivorship care.
