Clinical Implications of Cancer Genomics: A Call for Papers
Aging of populations in many countries around the world means that the incidence of cancer, a disease of ageing, can be expected to increase steadily. In addition to meeting the growing need for care of oncology patients, development of new and improved cancer treatments is therefore an important priority. In this month’s Editorial, we discuss progress in cancer genomics that promises to inform diagnosis, disease stratification, and research on targeted cancer therapies. We invite submission of translational and clinical research studies to PLOS Medicine for a special issue on the topic to be published in late 2016, for which Drs Elaine Mardis and Marc Ladanyi will serve as Guest Editors.
