Call for Papers: BioMed Research International (Impact factor: 1.579) -
Special Issue on Advances in Translational Cancer Imaging: Opportunities
and Challenges
---
Cancer imaging is tasked to improve the diagnosis, monitoring, and
treatment of patients with cancer. In recent years, it has been apparent
that the malignant behavior of tumors depends not only on the cancer cell
itself but also on its interaction with the host environment. Means to
image and exploit the tumour environment, and cellular pathways that
contribute to it, are increasing in importance. There is an urgent need
for the development of noninvasive imaging techniques that provide early
disease detection, that give prognostic information, and that can detect
early treatment response in order to guide therapy in individual patients.

Early cancer detection and quantitative imaging techniques in cancer
pathophysiology evaluation and therapy efficacy monitoring involve the
interrogation of biologic processes in tumor molecular abnormalities. This
will encompass new imaging paradigms that include multiple image-capture
techniques, medical physics, biomathematics, bioinformatics, and molecular
biology. The ability to image fine molecular changes of cancer opens up
exciting possibilities for clinical applications with high relevance to
personalized treatment as well as pharmaceutical development. Early cancer
screening and cancer detection are expected to have a major economic
impact due to higher curative rate for many tumor types.

This special issue will serve both scientific and clinical communities by
disseminating novel results and concepts relevant to the cancer imaging in
basic, translational, and clinical studies ranging from animal models to
human patients.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Development and validation of cancer imaging biomarkers
- Quantitative imaging techniques in cancer pathophysiology evaluation and
therapy efficacy monitoring
- Cost-effectiveness of cancer screening program
- Molecular imaging of cancer animal models using multiple imaging
modalities
- Computer aided early cancer detection and diagnosis techniques
