Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of Prostate Cancer”.
We are pleased to announce this upcoming Special Issue of Cancers, "Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of Prostate Cancer (2nd Edition)". Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and advancements in diagnosis and treatment have greatly influenced patient outcomes. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this field, covering various aspects of prostate cancer diagnosis and management. We invite the submission of original research articles and reviews that cover aspects of prostate cancer including, but not limited to, the following:
- Contemporary diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer (focusing on biomarkers, imaging, and biopsy techniques);
- Active surveillance of prostate cancer (focusing on patient selection and outcomes);
- Radical prostatectomy for clinically localized and locally advanced prostate cancer (focusing on open vs. robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, patient selection, surgical techniques, and patient outcomes);
- Radiation therapy for clinically localized and locally advanced prostate cancer (focusing on IMRT, proton beam therapy, brachytherapy, patient selection, and patient outcomes);
- Adjuvant and salvage therapies for high-risk and/or recurrent prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy.
All submitted articles will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure that our Special Issue is of the highest scientific quality and relevance. We encourage contributions from researchers, clinicians, and experts in the fields of urology and prostate cancer.
By consolidating the latest research findings and clinical experiences, we aim to enhance our understanding of radical prostatectomy and improve patient outcomes. We believe that your valuable contributions will significantly contribute to the success of this Special Issue.
If you have any questions or require further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support and facilitate your participation in this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Thomas Jang
Guest Editor
