Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genitourinary cancers occur in the urinary tract, bladder, and kidney and are also found in the male reproductive system, prostate, ureter, penis, and testicles. Of these, prostate and bladder cancers are within the top 10 most common cancers in men. Usually, due to cancers frequently being diagnosed at an advanced stage, treatment options are limited and a cure is not possible. Every day, expert, specialized surgeons, as well as medical and radiation oncologists, work in collaboration to plan the diagnosis and management of care when faced with patients with these problems. Improvements in diagnostic tools, partly based on artificial intelligence, and numerous promising biomarker candidates for various clinical purposes have helped promote increasingly minimally invasive and personalized treatments. This Special Issue of Medicina aims to discuss novel diagnostics and treatment strategies, sharing the most recent findings from developing and implementing new devices and technologies to improve the cancer results of genitourinary surgery. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide an open forum for those attempting to answer these questions, whether by reporting research or by providing comments for review articles. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Lucio Dell'Atti
Guest Editor
