Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and complex malignancies worldwide, accounting for a significant proportion of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women. Advances in molecular biology have unraveled the heterogeneity of breast cancer, revealing diverse subtypes characterized by distinct genetic and molecular profiles. Understanding these molecular mechanisms has paved the way for the development of targeted therapies, which have markedly improved patient outcomes. However, resistance to current treatments and metastatic progression continue to pose major challenges, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of innovative approaches—from molecular targets and signaling pathways to emerging treatment modalities—that address the unmet needs in breast cancer therapy. We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews focusing on, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Novel molecular targets and signaling pathways in breast cancer;
- Development and evaluation of targeted therapies and immunotherapies;
- Mechanisms of resistance to current treatments;
- Biomarkers for prognosis and therapy response;
- Innovative diagnostic and imaging techniques;
- Preclinical models and translational research;
- Combination strategies integrating molecular insights;
- Emerging technologies, such as nanomedicine and gene editing, in breast cancer treatment.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to advance the understanding and treatment of breast cancer through this special collection.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
