Advances in Cancer Multimodal Approaches: Biomarkers, Mechanisms, Surgical Procedures and Oncological Therapies, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 10 million deaths each year and an even higher number of patients that are diagnosed with this disease undergoing various procedures. This is the consequence of the increased number of risk factors that have become present in our lives in recent decades, such as tobacco, obesity and various unhealthy food diets, alcohol, viral infections, exposure to certain chemicals or radiations, etc.

Our goal as medical practitioners or scientists is to obtain the best outcome for patients, from prophylactic procedures to a correct diagnosis, a specific multimodal treatment and rigorous follow-up. All these have significantly improved in recent years because of a better understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of cancer development, the emergence of new technologies in cancer detection or surgical techniques, and breakthroughs in oncological therapies.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight new insights into advances of cancer multimodal approaches. Therefore, we encourage authors to submit their systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical outcome studies or new surgical techniques and oncological therapies regarding this subject.
