Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urologic oncology is a rapidly evolving and multidisciplinary field, dedicated to refining clinical strategies through technological innovation, personalized approaches, and evidence-based medicine. The growing understanding of the genetic and molecular underpinnings of genitourinary tumors has led to significant advancements in diagnostic tools, therapeutic algorithms, and surgical techniques, with robotic and minimally invasive procedures now playing a central role in treatment paradigms.
This Special Issue, "The Clinical Management of Urologic Oncology", aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current standards and emerging trends in the diagnosis and treatment of urologic malignancies. Contributions will focus on prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers, highlighting novel systemic therapies, immunotherapeutic strategies, the role of molecular biomarkers, and innovations in imaging techniques.
Special attention will be devoted to the integration of precision medicine in clinical practice, the management of high-risk and advanced disease, and multidisciplinary decision-making models aimed at improving oncologic and functional outcomes. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore the impact of therapies and clinical decisions on patients' quality of life, including functional, psychological, and social aspects, to support a more patient-centered approach to care.
By bringing together contributions from leading experts in the field, this Special Issue seeks to offer a valuable resource for urologists, oncologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals engaged in the care of patients with urologic cancers.
We hope this Special Issue will foster scientific exchange, inspire future research, and contribute to improving patient care globally.
