Diagnostic Pathology
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Pathology Through Open Access Research
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Diagnostics:
Focuses on the application of histopathology in clinical diagnostics, including the evaluation of tissue specimens using various staining techniques and molecular diagnostics. - Prognostic Biomarkers:
Investigates the role of specific biomarkers in predicting disease outcomes, treatment responses, and prognostic factors across different cancers and conditions. - Histopathological Techniques:
Explores novel histopathological techniques and methodologies, including immunohistochemistry and digital pathology, to improve diagnostic precision. - Molecular Pathology:
Integrates molecular biology with pathology to understand the genetic and molecular underpinnings of diseases, facilitating better diagnosis and treatment strategies. - Tumor Microenvironment Analysis:
Examines the interaction between tumor cells and their microenvironment, focusing on immune response, tumor-stroma interactions, and their implications for therapy.
Trending and Emerging
- Artificial Intelligence in Pathology:
The incorporation of AI and machine learning technologies in diagnostic pathology is gaining prominence, as seen in studies exploring the utility of AI for histopathological diagnosis and assessment. - Molecular Profiling and Genomics:
There is a growing focus on genomic profiling and the identification of actionable mutations in tumors, which is critical for personalized medicine and targeted therapies. - Immune Microenvironment Characterization:
Research on the tumor immune microenvironment, including the role of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immune checkpoint markers, is increasingly relevant for understanding tumor behavior and therapy response. - Digital Pathology and Telepathology:
The transition towards digital pathology and telepathology is evident, with studies emphasizing the advantages of digital imaging and remote diagnostics in enhancing pathology practice. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
An emerging trend is the interdisciplinary approach that combines pathology with other fields such as radiology, genomics, and immunology to provide comprehensive patient care.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Histopathology Techniques:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies solely based on traditional histopathological techniques without molecular integration, as the field increasingly emphasizes the combination of histology with molecular diagnostics. - Rare Tumor Types:
Research on rare tumor types appears to be waning, likely due to a shift towards more prevalent and impactful cancers that affect larger patient populations and have more significant clinical implications. - Basic Pathological Descriptions:
Papers focusing on basic descriptions of pathological findings without substantial clinical correlations or advancements in diagnostic techniques are becoming less frequent, as the field moves towards more integrated and clinically relevant research.
