Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there have been major advancements in understanding cancer in the fields of pathophysiology, pathology, tumor genetic, targeted therapy and precision medicine. Yet, by all means, the best therapy of cancer is prevention or at least screening and early detection. Prevention focuses on lifestyle modifications and risk factor reduction, such as avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, maintaining a healthy diet and protecting against harmful UV radiation. Screening involves testing asymptomatic individuals for early signs of cancer, allowing for timely intervention before the disease progresses. This Special Issue will focus on innovative research and advancements aimed at improving cancer outcomes through early diagnosis and preventive strategies. It will highlight the importance of screening tools and programs, biomarkers, imaging techniques and genetic tools in identifying cancers at their earliest, most treatable stages. This Special Issue also explores risk assessment methods, lifestyle modifications and public health initiatives to prevent cancer development.
