About this Research Topic
Due to the well-known implications of targeted therapies in modulating tumorigenesis, many pathways have been explored as potential targets in urological cancers. The aim is to update the developmental status of targeted therapies in prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer as well as to present clinical evidence on their single agent or combinational use. The articles of the Research Topic will help to highlight recent advances in the field and should be contributed as Original Research Articles or Reviews. Preclinical and clinical research is equally appreciated.
The manuscripts should be focused but are not only limited to:
· Targeted therapies and predictive biomarkers in urologic cancers cancer
· Novel therapeutic approaches for treatment of testicular cancer
· New molecular targets and pathways for renal cell carcinoma
· Animal models and model systems to study of novel treatments for urological cancers
· Predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy in urological cancers
· Imaging techniques to detect effects of therapies
· Molecular mechanisms of progression and invasion in urological cancers
Please note: manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics or computational analysis of public genomic or transcriptomic databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent cohort or biological validation in vitro or in vivo) are out of scope for this section and will not be accepted as part of this Research Topic.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
