Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diagnostic pathology has emerged at the forefront of modern personalized medicine with its accurate classification, stratification, prediction, and therapy of diseases. Over the past decades, diagnostic pathology has shifted from morphologically driven diagnoses towards an integrated diagnostic approach involving histopathology, cytopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, and digital imaging.
Historically, the role of diagnostic pathology has played a crucial part in the understanding of disease mechanisms, while contemporary pathology is leading the way in the field of translational medicine. New breakthroughs in the areas of molecular diagnostics, AI, digital pathology, and multi-omics are set to transform the future of routine diagnostic practice.
This Special Issue is intended to give a broad perspective on the current state of the art in diagnostic pathology, as well as the areas that will shape the future of the discipline. Contributions are solicited from the fields of surgical pathology, cytopathology, endocrine pathology, hematopathology, and other subspecialties. There is a strong focus on translational concepts.
We would like to invite original research papers, reviews, systematic reviews, and other types of papers focusing on methodological progress, diagnosis, new biomarkers, computational pathology, and integrating pathology information with personalized therapeutic approaches.
