Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women, there is a need for both early diagnoses and personalised treatments. The multidisciplinary approach to this pathology requires epidemiological analysis, an understanding of physiopathological mechanisms, as well as the adaptation of treatment to the stage of disease. Breast cancer surgery has undergone tremendous transformations in recent years, and minimally invasive techniques are no longer the exception. Oncoplastic surgery not only ensures oncological radicality but also aesthetic preservation, contributing to improvements in patients' quality of life. Moreover, artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly playing a role in contributing to proper diagnosis for these patients.
With this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the importance of knowing up-to-date information on this disease and encourage the submission of papers that focus on, among possible others, the following topics:
- Novelty in epdemiology;
- Early breast cancer diagnosis strategies;
- Advances in patophysiology;
- Neoadjuvant therapies;
- Surgical strategies in breast cancer;
- Conservative breast cancer surgery;
- The state of the art in breast reconstruction;
- Onco-plastic surgery;
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy;
- Adjuvant therapy, including radiotherapy and imunotherapy;
- Novelty in triple-negative breast cancer;
- Artificial intelligence in breast cancer diagnosis.
