Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neoadjuvant therapy plays a crucial role in optimizing surgical outcomes and improving survival in urologic malignancies. By integrating historical insights, biological mechanisms, and future directions, this Special Issue will explore the evolving landscape of neoadjuvant strategies in urologic oncology.
We invite original research articles and reviews that address key developments in this field, including novel therapeutic approaches, biomarkers for response prediction, and clinical trial outcomes. Topics may also include mechanistic insights and translational advances.
We look forward to your contributions to this important discussion on the future of neoadjuvant therapy in urologic oncology.
