Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unbalanced nursing signals from the stromal microenvironment to cells affected by genetic and epigenetic alterations with neoplastic potential are known to be crucial hallmarks of the very large majority of solid cancer types. Emerging recent evidence indicates that, also in circulating neoplastic diseases such as chronic and acute leukemias, an altered cross-talk between microenvironment niches in the bone marrow and some other hematopoietic reservoirs may be needed to support the expansion of early neoplastic clones. These findings might have profound implications for the diagnosis and treatment of leukemias, and are opening new fields for basic, translational and clinical studies. This Special Issue of Cancers offers a discussion platform for scientists and clinicians interested in this emerging topic.
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. Original research articles and review articles are welcome.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Francesco Bertolini
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
