Techniques for malignant diseases comprise the diagnostic, staging, and therapeutic methods used to detect cancer, define its extent, and direct treatment. Diagnostic and screening techniques include histopathology, imaging, and biochemical or molecular markers that distinguish malignant from benign tissue and monitor disease activity. Therapeutic techniques span surgery, systemic agents such as chemotherapy and targeted drugs, and radiation-based approaches, increasingly delivered with image guidance to maximise tumour control while sparing surrounding tissue. The literature gathered here illustrates several of these methods. Imaging-guided radiation is represented by work on target-volume definition for radiosurgery using multimodality imaging, a technique central to precise delivery of dose in tumours such as meningiomas. Diagnostic and screening innovation features in studies of biochemical markers, including the use of element concentration ratios in prostatic fluid as a non-invasive screening approach for prostate cancer, and histopathological characterisation of tumours of the thyroid and other organs. Other contributions analyse the trace-element composition of malignant tissues and the behaviour of human tumour cells in experimental systems, supporting the development of markers and models that inform detection and treatment. Together these works present the management of malignant disease as a technically driven endeavour, in which advances in imaging, biomarker analysis, pathology, and targeted delivery refine how cancers are identified, localised, and treated.
