Excerpt

It has now been 5 years since we had the privilege of writing our first annual Editor Page. Since then, many things have changed in the world of science, from diagnostics and prognostic stratification to therapeutic approaches. Nevertheless, above all changes due to successful scientific research activities, during the last 2 years Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically and radically modified the way we interact and establish relationships with colleagues and patients, as well as our own family members. While Covid-19 outbreak has pushed the maximum towards social distancing, at the same time it has highlighted how much the globalization process has now breached, perhaps irreversibly, in the daily life of each of us, for better and for worse. …
