Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Years of research have suggested that steroidogenesis, androgen and estrogen metabolism, and androstenedione metabolism, among others, are associated with human cancer. Mass spectrometry-based approaches are currently the method of choice to accurately analyze steroids from various biological matrices. High-throughput profiling and quantification of steroids, steroidomics, is an emerging field that has profound potential for the prevention, assessment, and management of human cancer. Nevertheless, there are still rooms for improvement to facilitate the employment of steroidomics in clinical research. These include, but not limited to, the study design, sample logistics, instrumental analysis, post-analytic data processing, and statistical analysis. This special issue aims at highlighting recent advances in clinical steroidomics, which an emphasis on the prevention, assessment, and management of human cancers. We consider all original research articles and review papers that support the advancement of clinical steroidomics as an independent field or as a member of the omics family. In particular, we will focus on the development of state-of-the-art analytical approaches, bioinformatics, statistical learning in addition to critical clinical aspects such as study design and tissue-specific steroidome of cancer. Studies of which the employment of steroidomics for the elucidation of the mechanism and etiology of cancer are also welcome.
