Breast Cancer: Advances in Clinical and Personalized Practices

Dear Colleagues,

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its impact will considerably grow in the future as the incidence is increasing. Despite significant progress in both diagnosis and treatment, challenges persist in managing this complex disease. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest clinical advancements in breast cancer care while addressing critical issues that remain unresolved and require further research.

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a variety of clinical topics, with a particular emphasis on imaging and diagnosis and on multimodal treatments, including oncological surgery and reconstruction, radiotherapy, and systemic treatments. We particularly welcome submissions focusing on multidisciplinary approaches and precision medicine strategies that are reshaping current clinical practice. Special attention will be given to studies exploring the integration of new technologies and their impact on patient outcomes. Finally, this Special Issue will cover quality of life and patient-centered outcomes.

We invite original research articles, clinical studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses from experts across all disciplines involved in breast cancer care. This includes medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, radiology, pathology, and related specialties. By bringing together diverse perspectives from leading experts, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the translation of innovative research into clinical practice and ultimately improve outcomes for breast cancer patients.
