Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Head and neck cancer (HNC) comprises a group of malignancies, with variation in incidence, risk factors, and prognosis. Late diagnosis and the inability to predict disease progression remain major factors in the grim outcome of certain HNCs and emphasise the need for identifying markers capable of early detection of malignant transformation.
Understanding the complexity of the tumour microenvironment is also essential for identifying novel therapeutic targets and markers for patient stratification for therapy.
This Special Issue focuses on advances in basic, translational, and clinical research, aimed at improving detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this devastating disease.
