Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the swiftly advancing domain of functional imaging, novel radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as new headliners in the rapidly evolving fields of oncologic and inflammatory diseases, trying to bring the promise of a patient-tailored medicine to reality.
In this setting, new-generation radiopharmaceuticals are assuming great relevance both in studying different features of the disease, such as the tumour stroma in place of cancer cells’ metabolism through radiolabelled fibroblast activation protein inhibitors, and in treatment planning, individuating and quantifying the expression of specific therapeutic targets (e.g., PD-L1) in order to modulate treatments and predict their success.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, PET/CT for Diagnosis, Treatment Planning and Prognosis Prediction in Oncology and Inflammatory Diseases, which aims to collect the most interesting papers on the applications of novel radiopharmaceuticals in oncologic and inflammatory diseases.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Pre-clinical or clinical studies, experimental or observational studies, and senior or young investigators will be considered for publication.
