Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Cancer-Associated Thrombosis: From Biomarkers to Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies to Optimize Treatment”, aims to focus on the role of emerging biomarkers and the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of thromboembolism in cancer patients.
Cancer-related thromboembolism (CAT) is an epidemiologically growing disease that has a major impact on patient morbidity and mortality, as well as on economic and human resources. Interest in this issue is strong, and we need to improve our knowledge about pathophysiological mechanisms, the identification of disease markers with clinical implications, and the optimization of diagnostic and therapeutic pathways in order to improve the management of each individual patient. There are a lot of gaps in the literature, so innovation needs to be continued in this field.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of both clinical and basic research in the form of original articles and reviews regarding pathophysiology and the molecular mechanisms of cancer-related thrombosis (pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, etc.), the peculiarities associated with the individual tumor site (for example, thrombotic or hemorrhagic risk), and traditional and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve basic knowledge and clinical management.
