Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are leading causes of death globally. In 2020, the World Health Organization reported an estimation of 19.1 and 10 million deaths from CVD and cancer, respectively. In spite of the known preventable risk factors for both conditions, the screening programmes for early detection and state-of-the-art treatments that have recently become available, the incidence continues to rise. The clinical presentation of these chronic conditions can be different. However, there is an overlap of risk factors such as unhealthy diet, smoking, excess consumption of alcohol, inactivity, socioeconomic status, obesity and biological mechanisms, such as activated nuclear factor kappa B, oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Interestingly, recently, a causal relationship between the gut microbiota, CVD and cancer has also been highlighted, though this is yet to be further researched.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a most recent update on the advances in the field of cancer and CVD pathology, focusing on early detection and diagnosis, including a better understanding of the factors involved in microbiome-mediated mechanisms and in biomarkers for early detection.
This Special Issue on cancer and CVD invites but is not limited to the following topics:
- Diagnostic pathology of cancer and CVD;
- Novel molecular mechanisms of cancer and CVD development;
- Diet and lifestyle interventions for Cancer and Cardiovascular disease;
- Gut Microbiome and Cancer and CVD;
- New biomarkers for the early detection of cancer and CVD.
This Special Issue on “Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: “Pathology of Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease”” welcomes original research articles and reviews in this field.

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. Biology 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 2700 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.

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.
