Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the clinical applications of emerging methods and innovative approaches for the detection and diagnosis of cancer. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, liquid biopsy, multiparametric biomarkers, artificial intelligence (AI) in digital pathology, nanotechnology and quantum dots, and CRISPR-based molecular detection. These advances are reshaping the landscape of cancer diagnostics, providing more precise, less invasive, and increasingly personalized tools for clinical practice.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
