Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Translational medicine translates basic research into useful tools to improve the knowledge and treatment of the pathogenesis of human cancer diseases. This Special Issue will explore advancements in molecular and clinical alterations in cancer and the evolving surgical oncology through research outcomes and innovative discoveries from both laboratory and clinical settings. Surgical oncology is rapidly evolving, bridging basic research and clinical applications to enhance cancer diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes.
Topics will include drug safety and the management of adverse events in oncology patients, as well as the emerging role of extracellular vesicles as biomarkers and therapeutic carriers. Additionally, the issue will cover the development of nanoparticles and nanomedicine for tumor targeting, drug delivery, and improved surgical outcomes.
The goal of this Special Issue is to gather original research and review articles that highlight the clinical applications of translational medicine in surgical oncology, fostering a multidisciplinary dialog among researchers, clinicians, and industry innovators.
Prof. Dr. Domenico Parmeggiani
