Summary
Despite increasing public awareness and scientific interest in skin cancer risks, the incidence of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) continues to rise rapidly. Recent research breakthroughs have provided valuable insights into the genetic and molecular landscape, as well as the role of the host-microbiome interplay in the development and treatment response of skin cancer. These discoveries have led to significant therapeutic innovations. However, resistance mechanisms remain a persistent challenge, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment approaches, combined therapies, and ongoing research to achieve lasting therapeutic outcomes. As an editorial team with expertise in clinical care and innovative therapeutics—such as drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, transdermal drug delivery systems, immunotherapy, and cold plasma—we are excited to invite you to submit your recent work to this Special Issue. Our goal is to showcase the most groundbreaking and promising developments in the management of skin cancer, from molecular targets to innovative treatments, highlighting the transformative effects of these advancements on clinical practice.
