Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men worldwide. Despite significant advancements in diagnosis and treatment, prostate cancer still poses a significant health threat to men. Therefore, continued research and innovation are necessary to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Despite significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancers, many aspects of these diseases still present challenges for clinicians and researchers. This Special Issue of Uro will explore a range of topics related to prostate cancers, including cutting-edge research on advanced imaging techniques, molecular characterization, current and emerging treatment options, and patient-centered care. We invite original research articles, expert opinions, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that contribute to a deeper understanding of these complex diseases and offer innovative approaches to improving patient outcomes and quality of life. In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the latest advancements in the treatment of prostate cancer, as well as discuss the future directions in the field.
