Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastric cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer death, despite significant advances in understanding its causes, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few decades. In particular, for gastric cancer, the effectiveness of treatment is maximized by improving the efficiency of early diagnosis through developing diagnostic technologies. However, there is still a shortage of specific anticancer drugs for gastric cancer, indicating the absence of a standard treatment. As a result, there is an emerging need to discover biomarkers and conduct research on the associated signaling mechanisms in order to secure optimized early diagnosis technology.
Consequently, we invite authors to submit original research and review papers focusing on the fundamentals, molecular mechanisms, and treatment of gastric cancer, spanning from diagnosis to treatment. Through this, our goal is to enhance the understanding of gastric cancer and explore effective diagnosis and treatment methods.

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.
