Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that, along with Prof. Dr. Calin Giurcaneanu and Assistant Professor Cristina Beiu, in collaboration with the journal Medicina (ISSN 1648-9144, IF 2.4, cite score 3.3, Q1 in the “Medicine, General and Internal” category, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/medicina) I am organizing a Special Issue on “Advances in the Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Skin Tumors”.
Skin cancer is not only one of the most frequent forms of cancer, but also one of the most preventable and readily recognizable. Still, in the past three decades, the incidence of no other cancer has risen as much as that of non-melanoma skin cancer, particularly cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, while the rise in the incidence of melanoma ranked third among all types of cancer. Apart from causing significant morbidity, the mortality rates of skin cancers have remained stable or have shown a slight decrease. There are countless factors responsible for these phenomena, including genetics, increased longevity, various causes of immunosuppression, exposure to toxic agents, ozone depletion and climate change, as well as the results of prevention and early diagnosis campaigns and improved diagnostic tools. Nevertheless, efforts to improve primary prevention and detect skin cancers in an early phase need to be intensified.
Our aim is to bring together and support both clinicians and researchers to share their experiences and discuss the results of their innovative studies regarding the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of skin tumors.
Therefore, we hope you find the topic of our Special Issue interesting and we warmly invite you to submit an original article or review. The submission deadline is 15 January 2025.
Dr. Liliana Gabriela Popa
Guest Editor
