Pediatric pathology is a unique subspecialty that involves a vast and complex developmental period ranging from embryos to teenagers. Pediatric pathologists are well-versed in broad aspects of anatomic pathology, molecular diagnostics, and pediatric laboratory medicine. Congenital malformations and inherited disorders, immunodeficiencies and infections, pediatric blood diseases, and tumors are but a few examples of the areas that pediatric pathologists help to diagnose and manage.
For this special issue, we invite front-line pediatric pathologists to submit high-quality scientific manuscripts regarding pediatric tumors. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
1. Cohort or case studies to characterize clinicopathologic features of pediatric tumors;
2. Cytology-histology correlation and follow-up data regarding diagnostic categories of pediatric tumors;
3.New developments in diagnostic criteria of pediatric pathology;
4. Use of biomarkers in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic response prediction of pediatric tumors;
5.Laboratory investigations to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the development and progression of pediatric tumors.
