Given the success of Volume I of this Research Topic, and how rapid the subject area is evolving, we are pleased to announce the launch of "Cancer Biomarkers: Molecular Insights into Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Risk Prediction: Volume II".

The global burden of cancer is on the rise, prompting an urgent need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Recent advancements in molecular technologies have revolutionized our understanding of cancer biology, allowing researchers to delve into the intricate mechanisms of carcinogenesis at the molecular level. Multi-omics approaches, encompassing genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, have provided comprehensive insights into the complexities of cancer as a systemic disease.

These advanced technologies have empowered researchers to identify specific molecular signatures associated with various carcinogenic compounds. Furthermore, the development of highly sensitive detection methods for cancer-specific molecular alterations has significantly advanced liquid biopsy techniques and facilitated early cancer detection.

The primary objective of this Research Topic is to serve as a platform for sharing the latest research findings on diverse molecular biomarkers and their applications in cancer detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. Recent breakthroughs in liquid biopsy, single-cell sequencing, and functional genetic association studies using omics technologies have transformed the landscape of cancer management protocols.

This issue aims to highlight specialized areas of cancer research, providing up-to-date insights into the field.
