Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of the Special Issue titled “Integrated Management of Cancer” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/InteMC).
Whilst new modalities are steadily being introduced for the treatment of cancer, the global incidence of cases continues to rise, and many problems remain in the clinical management of the disease. Increasing evidence suggests that integrated management may offer the best chance of an effective outcome. Fueled by epigenetics, this is the central theme of this Special Issue of Cancers. “Integrated management” takes various forms. Most commonly, it represents the combination of clinical oncology and complementary medicine. The latter includes dietary factors, nutraceuticals, lifestyle issues, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately, ‘complementary medicine’ often suffers from insufficient evidence. Even when specific complementary agents have been tested by themselves, there is often much less information on how a given agent might combine with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy. Thus, we will pay particular attention to the quality of the available evidence, ideally from well-designed clinical trials. Meta-analyses will also be welcome. More broadly, the remit of this SI also includes combination treatments, repurposed drugs, and insights from emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and cancer neuroscience. As Guest Editors and in the tradition of Cancers, we promise a rapid and fair review process. We welcome pre-publication inquiries from prospective authors.
