Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genitourinary malignancies include some of the most prevalent types of cancer worldwide, such as prostate, uterine, cervix and bladder cancer, as well as less prevalent lesions, including vulvar, vaginal and penile cancers. The varied etiology and the molecular heterogeneity of genitourinary cancers represent major challenges for cancer therapy. While there have been recent advances in the treatment of specific prostate and bladder cancer patient subgroups, the treatment of other less-studied diseases, such as penile cancer, remains largely unchanged. This Special Issue aims to highlight timely studies of innovative drug candidates for genitourinary cancers and their molecular targets, including pre-clinical and clinical studies, as well as review articles. Translational research studies are particularly welcome. Studies that deal with the molecular heterogeneity of genitourinary cancers and approaches to therapeutically target specific tumor subsets are also of particular interest. Finally, this Special Issue also aims to showcase studies that deal with less-studied cancers with higher incidence in developing countries, such as penile cancer.
