Dear Colleagues,
Biomarkers are physical, chemical or cellular parameters that reflect biological processes and allow the diagnosis and prognosis of pathologies, or predict the response to treatment. The identification of novel biomarkers is a major factor for achieving predictive and personalized medicine. In this context, the development and application of proteomics has greatly advanced over the past decade, and proteomics methods offer many new and promising research directions in various clinical fields. The personalization of radiotherapy treatment would be beneficial for cancer patients, but there is still a lack of predictive biomarkers in routine clinical use.
For this Special Issue, I welcome your contribution of research papers, up-to-date review articles, and commentaries. The main topic of this issue is large-scale studies using non-targeted strategies for the discovery of new biomarkers in the field of radiotherapy. Studies involving biomarkers of radioresistance, response to irradiation, and their specificity for different cancer types and irradiation conditions are all welcome.
Dr. François Chevalier
