Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a Special Issue of Cancers, “Melanoma: Pathology and Translational Research”, dedicated to advancing our understanding of melanoma through the lens of pathology and translational research. Melanoma is a challenging malignancy, and insights from both the laboratory and clinical research are essential to driving progress in diagnosis and treatment.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest developments in the field of melanoma research, with a specific focus on how pathology and translational research intersect. We invite original research articles and reviews exploring various aspects of melanoma, including the histopathologic characterization of melanoma subtypes, the molecular and genetic profiling of melanoma, the identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers, innovative diagnostic approaches, translational studies, and the use of novel technologies like digital pathology and artificial intelligence in the assessment of melanoma.
This Special Issue offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of melanoma research. We encourage researchers, clinicians, and pathologists to submit their work and help shape the future of melanoma diagnosis and treatment.
