New Horizons in Oncologic Imaging

The adoption of a multidisciplinary approach to cancer patient care has changed the landscape of oncologic practice. Using this model, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and others work closely toward personalized management. The key roles of oncologic imaging in this model are to provide accurate pretreatment staging of the tumor, to monitor the response to therapy, and to provide surveillance after curative treatment; thus, the radiologist has an important role in planning routine cancer care. This Collection aims at highlighting some of the promising advances in imaging that are still in earlier stages, as well as reviewing techniques that are already becoming incorporated into clinical practice. We are seeking submissions of recent advances in oncological imaging guidelines for cancers from established oncology groups and societies worldwide. We hope to collect multiple applications of recent advances in imaging technologies used to understand tumor biology, including studies of novel imaging systems, imaging methods, probes, drugs, and biological applications in the field of cancer research.
