Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain tumours represent a limited but complex proportion of the oncological landscape in adults and a unpleasant relevant group in paediatric population. Brain tumours research field has become more complex than ever in the last decades, as involvement of several healthcare specialists and scientific experts is mandatory to develop a new standard of care for some largely unknown and incurable diseases and to optimise treatments for more indolent diseases. The inter-relation of tumour biology heterogeneity, peritumoural interface with the immune system, tumour-driven escape mechanisms and resistance to current treatments are the challenges for future research.
This Special Issue is focused on the collection of papers regarding “Recent Advances in Brain Cancers” and calls to actions biologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists, radiation oncologists and immunologists to share recent advances in neurooncology, discuss and propose new insights and perspectives for possible promising directions to follow. The aim of the Issue is to collect valuable contribution from basic sciences, translational research on signalling pathways highly relevant in term of future target therapy delivery, new technologies and their impact on tumour biology but also critical review of recent and forthcoming clinical trials investigating new molecules or treatment strategies. Both adult and paediatric neurooncology topics are welcome.
Dr. Leonardo Tariciotti

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
