Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most frequent tumor in humans. NMSC exhibits a special behavior, not only emerging through the classical route of accumulated mutation, but also via alternative pathways. Clinician still do not know how to predict the evolution of precancerous lesions, the actinic keratosis (AK), or the reason for the polarized clinical presentation of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (LCCT). Apart from the lack of feasible indicators of progressive potential, NMSC shows a varied response to treatment in dermatological practice, and a necessity for personalized medicine has arisen.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in this Special Issue focused on NMSC prevention and treatment based on translational strategies with real-practice clinical application. This Special Issue is open and practical, with the purpose of linking clinical practice with basic science. Clinicians and researchers are encouraged to share their detailed experience, including negative or null results.
This Special Issue aims to:
- Expand the knowledge of novel clinical strategies for NMSC treatment and prevention.
- Share new targeted therapies in NMSC with the scientific community.
- Be a connector between dermatologists and basic research.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
