Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Pathogenesis, Disease Detection and Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Osteosarcoma”, will highlight recent advances in the understanding of the factors and pathways that contribute to the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma and emerging methods to diagnose and treat osteosarcoma.
Osteosarcoma is a devastating cancer that has not seen major improvements in disease outcomes in decades. A deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma can pave the way to developing disease prevention strategies. The advent of exciting diagnostic tools, such as liquid biopsy, to enable early disease detection and the subsequent early treatment of disease can lead to improved disease outcomes. Emerging innovative therapeutic approaches to treat primary and metastatic osteosarcoma are greatly needed to improve patient’s quality of life and survival expectations.
We cordially invite authors in the field to submit original research or review articles pertaining to these essential and rapidly progressing topics.
Dr. Joanne Tuohy
Guest Editor
