Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rise of biomarker-driven targeted therapies marks a pivotal moment in cancer treatment, ushering in personalized approaches that leverage the distinct molecular traits of tumors. This Special Issue delves into the forefront of biomarker identification, validation, and application within the realm of targeted cancer therapies. Ranging from genomic alterations to protein expression patterns, the unraveling of biomarkers empowers clinicians to stratify patients, anticipate treatment responses, and refine therapeutic strategies more precisely. Additionally, this edition aims to spotlight the dynamic landscape of precision medicine, showcasing innovative technologies and computational tools instrumental in biomarker discovery and clinical translation. By presenting cutting-edge research and clinical perspectives, this Special Issue aims at deepening our comprehension of biomarker-guided targeted therapies and their profound impact on both the tumor microenvironment and immune therapy, ultimately advancing patient outcomes in cancer care.
