Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid and breast carcinomas are now one of the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancers. Cancer diagnoses have evolved greatly in the past few decades, with novel biomarkers and genetic sequencing all being part of everyday medical practice in cancer diagnosis. Despite advances in the field of oncology and systematic treatment, surgery remains the cornerstone of cancer treatment with curative intent. Novel surgical techniques have evolved over the years to include robotic surgery, endoscopic excisions, and intraoperative visualization techniques for tumor localization, lymph node mapping, and perfusion assessment.
The scope of this Special Issue is to gather and present novel data regarding the newest operative techniques in cancer management, including but not limited to, malignant diseases. The focus of the Special Issue is on targeted surgical treatments and novel minimally invasive techniques in treating cancer and other surgical diseases. We welcome original articles on basic, pre-clinical, clinical, and translational research.
