Frontiers in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Reducing breast cancer risk through targeted screening, treatment advances, and novel research efforts is the key focus of this Topical Collection on “Progress in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment”. We are also interested in manuscripts aimed at improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients and survivors. In this regard, research topics include, but are not limited to, lifestyle factors and habits such as nutrition, exercise, and weight control, as well as supportive care. 

Of particular interest to this Topical Collection is research pertaining to circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Such research may offer a less-expensive and non-invasive means for predicting disease severity and survival potential in breast cancer patients.  Submissions focusing on evolving therapies (e.g., atezolizumab, nab-paclitaxel, ipatasertib, capivasertib, and bicalutamide) also are welcome.
