Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last decade, numerous novel technologies have emerged in the field of urologic surgical oncology. Artificial intelligence and radiomics have facilitated prompt diagnosis of urological malignancies and reduced the likelihood of overdiagnosis. Multidisciplinary assessment from specialized clinicians, such as urologists and oncologists, can ensure personalised care whilst also considering patients’ quality of life.
At the same time, advancements in robotic surgery have revolutionized the treatment of urological cancers by providing effective oncological and functional outcomes while minimizing morbidity. Furthermore, three-dimensional models have greatly improved preoperative and intraoperative surgical planning for precise tumour excision, allowing surgeons to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate recent Advances in the Clinical Management of Urological Cancers.
We are seeking original studies and reviews that address new technologies and developments used for the diagnosis and treatment of urological cancers.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to) using artificial intelligence to diagnose urological cancers; radiomics and machine learning systems for diagnostic evaluation of urological cancer patients; developments in robotic surgery for urological malignancies; and three-dimensional modeling for urological tumours.
