About the collection

Surgical and Experimental Pathology is calling for submissions to our Collection on 'Predictive Markers in Daily Anatomic Pathology.' 

In the field of anatomic pathology, predictive markers serve as invaluable tools for predicting disease behavior, prognosis, and response to treatment. They are biomolecules, genetic alterations, or morphological features that provide insights into a patient's disease trajectory and aid in tailoring personalized treatment strategies.

Predictive markers play a crucial role in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic decisions, ultimately leading to improved patient care. This Collection aims to shed light on the latest advancements in understanding and utilizing these markers to enhance diagnostic accuracy, treatment selection, and patient outcomes.

Through the collaborative efforts of pathologists, researchers, and clinicians, this Collection seeks to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real-world application. By exploring the predictive markers in daily anatomic pathology, we strive to improve the quality of care provided to patients.
