Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Orthopedic oncology is entering a transformative era—driven by advances in imaging, limb-salvage reconstruction, systemic therapies, histology-driven research and targeted therapies, and data-enabled care. This Special Edition of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, “New Clinical Advances in Orthopedic Oncology”, invites high-impact manuscripts that will shape contemporary practice and improve outcomes for patients with bone and soft-tissue tumors. We particularly welcome work spanning orthopedics, medical and radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and rehabilitation.
We seek original research, rigorous retrospective and prospective cohorts, clinical trials (randomized or pragmatic), registry-based studies, diagnostic accuracy and imaging studies, predictive modeling/AI, technique papers, and state-of-the-art reviews. Priority topics include surgical decision-making and reconstruction; perioperative optimization and complication reduction; metastatic and oligometastatic disease; survivorship, function, and quality of life; pediatric, AYA, and geriatric care; health equity and global oncology; value-based and patient-centered outcomes; and translational bridges—from biomarkers and liquid biopsy to image-guided interventions that bring innovations from bench to bedside.
Submissions will undergo rigorous peer review with an emphasis on transparent methods, reproducibility, and clinically actionable insights. We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the care of patients with musculoskeletal tumors.
Dr. Julia Visgauss
Guest Editor
