Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This collection is the second edition of a previous Special Issue on “Precision Medicine in Thoracic Oncology” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/Precision_Medicine_Thoracic_Oncology).
The past twenty years have witnessed an unprecedented development in technologies, which allow for a more precise definition of the genetic make-up of solid and hematological cancers, promoting the identification of molecular alterations consistently expressed in some kinds of tumors quite often characterized by a peculiar clinical behavior and response to target treatments. Among the tumors for which an extensive evaluation of genetic alterations has been rewarding are lung cancers, especially adenocarcinomas, now subclassified according to the expression of specific markers, which drive a personalized attempt to cure them. In this Special Issue of Cancers, we aim to collect contributions not only on the broader topic of lung cancer, but also regarding much less common thoracic neoplasms such as thymoma, mesothelioma, and neuroendocrine tumors. Contributions can be in the form of original articles, reviews, or commentaries aimed at providing a comprehensive update on ideas, discoveries, technologies, and approaches that are bringing precision oncology to the bedside of patients diagnosed with thoracic cancers.
