Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Imaging plays a critical role in the work-up of patients with breast cancer. Patients with breast cancer commonly undergo a series of imaging tests (Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography, lymphoscintigraphy for the identification of the sentinel lymph node, bone scan, and Positron Emission Tomography) based on the different types of cancer and class of risk. The characteristics of cancer and clinical variables also determine which type of treatment is most appropriate for that specific group of patients. Evidence-based medicine, expert consensus, and multidisciplinary discussions comprising different medical societies produced guidelines for the imaging, treatment, and follow-up of patients with breast cancer. Nevertheless, these guidelines are subject to edits based on new findings of the current literature arising from daily clinical practice.
The present Special Issue solicits research on the latest advances in clinical and experimental imaging and treatment, including clinical and radiation oncology. In this context, reviews (especially systematic reviews, meta-analysis) and original articles are welcome.
