Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to publish your manuscripts in our Special Issue entitled “Advances in the Field of Cutaneous Malignancies: Background and Clinical Management” in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, which is now open for submissions.
In the last few decades, the overall incidence and prevalence of cutaneous malignancies have shown a significant increase worldwide. While melanoma accounts for the majority of all skin-cancer-related deaths, non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common malignancies in fair-skinned populations, contributing to a significant burden for patients and healthcare systems.
Our present Special Issue will focus on the latest advances in the management of cutaneous malignancies, including the use of various biomarkers, diagnostic devices, imaging techniques (dermoscopy, optical coherence tomography, high-frequency ultrasound, reflectance confocal microscopy, etc.), and novel treatment options. New concepts on early detection, genomic and molecular testing, approaches guiding treatment decisions, and the monitoring of the therapy of cutaneous malignancies are also within the scope. Novel findings on the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the diagnostics of cutaneous malignancies are also welcome. Teledermatology, alone or in combination with artificial intelligence, is also a rapidly developing technology that has a key role in the management of cutaneous malignancies; therefore, it is also included. New data on the background and factors contributing to the development of cutaneous malignancies are of special interest.
Basic, translational, and clinical research are equally highly welcome to this Special Issue.
