Pathogenic Fungal Infections in Cancer and Transplant Patients

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection, entitled "Pathogenic Fungal Infections in Cancer and Transplant Patients", aims to present recent research on any aspect of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised cancer and stem cell and solid organ transplant patients. Patients with prior CAR-T cell intervention are also of interest. This field has seen major advances over the last 5 to 10 years, which will be highlighted in this Topical Collection. Some of the focal areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. The changing epidemiology and risk factors of fungal infections in cancer and transplant patients.
2. Pathogenesis of fungal infections in cancer and transplant patients.
3. Immunology of fungal infections in cancer and transplant patients.
4. Biofilm and pathogenic fungal infections in cancer and transplant patients.
5. Advances in the diagnosis, prevention, management, and treatment of fungal infections in cancer and transplant patients. 

Reviews, original research, and communications are welcome.
