Sharing Clinical and Research Topics Including Patient Derived Sarcoma Models of Malignant Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor

Dear Colleagues,

I hope that sharing the clinical topics of malignant bone and soft tissue tumours, which are rare cancers, in this Special Issue will lead to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods for malignant bone and soft tissue tumours. In addition, promotion of basic research is indispensable for the development of novel diagnostic and treatment methods for malignant bone and soft tissue tumours, and it is necessary to share research topics. Furthermore, regarding cancer research, molecular biology has progressed since the 2000s, and omics analysis (comprehensive analysis) research has become the mainstream of cancer research. However, as a result, few studies have led to new biomarkers or new therapeutic agents for cancers. Based on these facts, the importance of steady research using cells and animal models is reconfirmed by regarding cancer as a living thing. Therefore, this Special Issue also mentions the current status of the patient-derived sarcoma models.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medical Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
