Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background:
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery is confronted with challenges in treatment optimization due to the complex interplay of anatomical, physiological, and histopathological findings of ear, nose, and throat pathologies affecting individual patients' quality of life. Traditional "one-size-fits-all" approaches often yield suboptimal outcomes, highlighting the need for personalized therapeutic strategies.
History:
The field has evolved from standardized protocols to increasingly individualized approaches, initially through clinical phenotyping and biomarker identification. Recent technological advances, especially in artificial intelligence, have accelerated the shift toward precision medicine in otolaryngology.
Aim and Scope:
This Special Issue aims to provide insight into the integration of personalized medicine approaches in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, emphasizing how patient-specific factors (genetic profiles, environmental influences, comorbidities) can be considered to lead to tailored therapeutic strategies. A particular focus on the synergistic potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning in advancing personalized care can be performed through improved diagnostic accuracy, treatment selection, and outcome prediction.
Cutting-edge Research:
Current innovations include AI-powered imaging analysis for surgical planning, machine learning algorithms for treatment response prediction, personalized tissue engineering, targeted molecular therapies, and the application of big data analytics to identify patient-specific risk factors and optimal intervention timing.
Papers Solicited:
We welcome original research, systematic reviews, and comprehensive reviews dedicated to:
- AI/ML applications in personalized diagnosis and treatment;
- Novel biomarker identification and validation studies;
- Patient-specific outcome prediction models;
- Precision therapeutics in head and neck surgery;
- Integration of multi-omics data in personalized care;
- Real-world implementation of personalized medicine approaches.
