Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journal Diagnostics, entitled "Diagnosis and Management of Skin Tumors", aims to explore the latest advancements in the identification, characterization, and treatment of skin tumors. This Special Issue will encompass a wide range of topics, including novel diagnostic techniques such as dermoscopy, biopsy methods, and imaging technologies, as well as emerging therapies such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and surgical innovations. Contributions will focus on both common skin malignancies such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, as well as rarer forms such as Merkel cell carcinoma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. By compiling expert opinions and cutting-edge research, this Special Issue intends to serve as a comprehensive resource for clinicians, dermatologists, oncologists, and researchers, aiding them in enhancing patient outcomes via early detection and effective treatment strategies.
