Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In general, it has remained challenging to treat cancer despite the innovative and revolutionary research taking place worldwide. The remarkable advances over the last decade in multi-omics technologies, especially next-generation sequencing (NGS) and genome analysis, have led to significant improvements in our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of cancer. Together with bioinformatic tools and Artificial Intelligence, it is possible to use computer programming to improve cancer diagnosis, drug development, and precision medicine.
This Special Issue aims to present robust molecular signatures and biomarkers of unmet clinical problems in cancer fields, mostly focusing on predicting treatment response, making early diagnoses, and assessing disease prognosis through the use of different omics approaches, such as genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic methods. We welcome original research articles and reviews to this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topic: new developments in cancer research in order to identify biomarkers and molecular signatures with high possibility of clinical application and therapeutic development.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
