Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute original articles, communications and review papers to be published in our Special Issue entitled “Diagnosis of Skin Cancer: From the Researcher Bench to the Patient Bedside” in Journal of Clinical Medicine, which is now open for submissions.
The overall incidence and prevalence of skin cancer has shown a significant increase worldwide in the last several decades. While melanoma accounts for about 80% of all skin-cancer-related deaths, non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common malignancies in fair-skinned populations.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest updates in diagnostic approaches for skin cancer, including various biomarkers, diagnostic devices and imaging techniques (dermoscopy, optical coherence tomography, high-frequency ultrasound, reflectance confocal microscopy, etc.). New concepts on early detection, genomic and molecular testing, and approaches guiding initial treatment decision and the monitoring of skin cancer therapy are also within the scope. The use of artificial intelligence to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the previously mentioned imaging techniques and devices is also welcomed. Teledermatology, alone or in combination with artificial intelligence, is also a rapidly developing technology that has a key role in the early diagnosis of skin cancer; therefore it is also included.
Basic, translational and clinical research are equally highly welcome to this Special Issue.
