Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Imaging plays a key role in the management of cancer patients. In recent years, besides the use of conventional imaging methods, advanced radiological and nuclear medicine procedures have increasingly been used, providing not only morphological but also functional information and quantitative parameters focused on tumor metabolism and biology. Now, radiomic and radiogenomic features can also be extracted from imaging, adding further important biomarkers. The combined use of imaging data, clinical and genetic profiles, circulating biomarkers, and artificial intelligence makes it possible to design predictive models, leading to personalized treatment and the better outcome of cancer patients. The employment of new theranostic and nanotheranostic agents could also contribute to the achievement of this goal.
In this Special Issue, we encourage researchers to submit their original papers, review articles, brief communications, or comments on “Advances in Imaging Techniques of Molecular Oncology”. Papers that suggest novel diagnostic approaches, such as radiomics, artificial intelligence, and theranostics, are also welcome to be submitted.
Prof. Dr. Angela Spanu

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
