Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in surgical techniques have significantly transformed the management of melanoma and skin cancer. This special issue focuses on the latest updates and effectiveness of surgical strategies in treating these conditions. With an increasing emphasis on early detection and personalized treatment, surgeons are now employing innovative procedures to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
This issue explores a range of topics, including the evolution of surgical techniques such as Mohs micrographic surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy and the integration of novel technologies like robotic-assisted surgery and fluorescence-guided imaging. Additionally, it examines the role of adjuvant therapies in enhancing surgical outcomes and reducing recurrence rates. By synthesizing current research findings and clinical experiences, this collection provides comprehensive insights into the contemporary landscape of surgical management for melanoma and skin cancer.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts for special issues should be submitted to Actas Españolas de Psiquiatría before the deadline. Research articles, systematic review articles, review articles, case reports, as well as letters are invited. Submissions must align with the journal's aims and scope, and also fit the specific research theme of the special issue. All special issue manuscripts will undergo the same peer review process as regular submissions. The Editor-in-Chief oversees all journal content. If the manuscript is authored by the editor themselves, the editorial team, or family members of the research group, the editor will never be involved in this process; or even if there is a close professional relationship between the author and parties involved in the editorial process. If the editorial team finds a manuscript or an entire special issue does not meet quality standards, it may be rejected. Any disputes arising during the editorial process will be resolved by the Editor-in-Chief. For more information, please refer to the Author Guidelines and Special Issues Guidelines.
