Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress and inflammation are tightly interconnected processes that play a central role in cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic response. The imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses leads to molecular damage and genomic instability, while chronic inflammation contributes to a tumor-promoting microenvironment that supports cancer cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis.
The first edition of this Special Issue highlighted the importance of these processes in cancer biology, bringing together contributions that explored key molecular mechanisms, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic strategies. Since then, significant advances have been made in understanding the dynamic interplay between oxidative stress, inflammation, and tumor–microenvironment interactions, particularly in the context of metabolic reprogramming, mitochondrial dysfunction, and biomarker discovery.
This second edition aims to further expand on these advances by welcoming original research and review articles that address emerging concepts and translational approaches. Topics of interest include redox signaling, inflammation-driven tumor progression, novel antioxidant strategies, and the identification of clinically relevant biomarkers.
By integrating basic, translational, and clinical perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to provide updated insights into cancer biology and to support the development of more effective and personalized therapeutic strategies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
