Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spinal metastases are a significant source of morbidity in patients with systemic cancer. To offer individualized treatment options for patients, it is essential to explore the pathogenesis and identify an effective way for early diagnosis. The primary aims of this issue are to define the diagnostic difficulties, discover new diagnostic opportunities in spine diseases, discuss the evolving genetic methods and the problems in the management of spine diseases, as well as the transition to adulthood programs. This Special Issue of Diagnostics welcomes all related research and review articles associated with the management of spine diseases.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
(1) Clinicopathological studies of spine diseases;
(2) Molecular diagnosis and genetic studies on spine diseases;
(3) Diagnosis imaging for spine diseases;
(4) Radiotherapy for spine diseases;
(5) Prognostic assessment for the treatment of spine diseases.
