Experimental Urooncology—New Insights from Basic and Translational Research

Dear Colleagues,

Urological cancers have increased significantly in recent years and are expected to increase by 23% until 2030. This prediction includes cancers of the kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra, penis, prostate, and testicles. Recent clinical trials show encouraging results, and the prognosis of urological tumors can often be transformed from life-threatening to chronic disease. In particular, significant progress has been made in the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic prostate and renal cell cancer. However, despite significant research efforts and new treatment options, treatment failure and the development of resistance are still the most critical challenges in everyday clinical practice. Against this background, the development of new and complementary therapeutic strategies in urooncology is mandatory.

This Special Issue aims to publish original works and reviews that highlight the potential of experimental therapeutic approaches and strategies from basic and translational research targeting urological cancers.
