Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to present this Special Issue focusing on diagnostics and management in urothelial carcinomas, a subset of urologic malignancies with unique challenges and clinical implications. Urothelial carcinomas, which primarily affect the bladder but can also arise in the upper urinary tract, represent a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Despite advancements in diagnostic techniques and therapeutic options, urothelial carcinomas continue to pose challenges in early detection, accurate staging and effective management.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and innovations in the diagnosis and management of urothelial carcinomas. From emerging biomarkers and genomic profiling to advancements in imaging modalities such as multiparametric MRI and PET-CT, we seek to explore the evolving landscape of diagnostic strategies in urothelial cancer care.

We invite researchers, clinicians and experts in the field to contribute original research articles, review papers and case studies that delve into various aspects of the current diagnostics and management strategies specific to urothelial carcinomas. By consolidating insights from multidisciplinary perspectives, we aim to facilitate a deeper understanding of diagnostic challenges and opportunities in urothelial cancer management, ultimately striving toward enhanced patient outcomes and quality of care.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and shaping this Special Issue, which we envision as a pivotal resource for advancing the field of urothelial carcinoma diagnostics and management.
