Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Central nervous system tumor diagnostic and therapeutic research has gained momentum in the last decade. Despite advances in treatment, CNS tumors remain clinically challenging, with high recurrence rates and significant impact on patient neurological function and quality of life. Understanding of molecular mechanisms and the tumor microenvironment, as well as advances in diagnostics and therapeutics, has helped develop tailored treatments to improve outcomes. In clinical practice, integrating molecular biomarkers, intraoperative imaging, and novel surgical approaches has enabled more precise tumor resection and better postoperative management.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine will focus on innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system tumors. We aim to highlight clinically driven research that directly informs patient stratification, treatment selection, and long-term follow-up strategies.
We welcome the submission of original research and review articles presenting results in the above-mentioned research fields, as well as papers discussing findings of preclinical studies and clinical trials. Contributions that address clinical challenges, including advanced diagnosis technologies, rare patient treatment, and surgical treatment, are particularly encouraged.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Glioblastoma;
- IDH mutant glioma;
