Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on “Emerging Trends in Tumor Pathology and Precision Oncology” focuses on the latest advancements that are transforming tumor pathology, with a particular emphasis on gynecologic pathology, pediatric pathology, and neuropathology as primary fields of interest. Utilizing molecular, digital, and biobanking technologies, this collection explores how these innovations are enhancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of various cancers. Molecular pathology techniques, such as next-generation sequencing, are crucial for identifying genetic mutations, enabling targeted therapeutic strategies that improve patient care. Digital pathology, through tools like whole-slide imaging and AI-driven analysis, offers greater diagnostic accuracy and supports remote consultations. Meanwhile, biobanking serves as a vital resource for translational research, facilitating the development and validation of new biomarkers and treatment modalities. This Special Issue will compile high-quality research papers discussing these technological advancements and their practical implementation challenges. While focusing on gynecologic, pediatric, and neuropathology, the issue also welcomes contributions from other oncologic and pathologic subspecialties. By promoting collaboration among pathologists, researchers, and clinicians, this Special Issue aims to significantly advance tumor pathology and precision oncology, ultimately fostering personalized medicine and improving patient outcomes.
