Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
We are honored to introduce you a new Special Issue entitled “The Current Staging Systems of Tumor and Their Pitfalls” which is open for submissions now in Cancers.
Accurate staging of tumors is crucial to estimate prognosis and identify appropriate management options. The staging protocols, however, continue to evolve and are under constant revision and change, also due to advances in molecular oncology approaches. Moreover, current staging systems often present a number of pitfalls and controversial issues. We feel that it is time to discuss the current staging systems of several neoplasms and their pitfalls in a single, dedicated editorial initiative.
Both original research articles and reviews are welcome for consideration. Contributors are invited to express their own views and hypotheses, provided that they are supported by evidence or experimental data.
