Tumor Suppressor and Targeted Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: From Diagnosis to Treatment (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to present this Special Issue, which is the second edition of a previous Special Issue on the topic of “Tumor Suppressor and Targeted Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: From Diagnosis to Treatment”. The carcinogenesis of HCC is a complex process that is associated with the aberrant activation of various cellular and molecular pathways and the disruption of the balance between the activation and inactivation of protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. In recent decades, advancements in molecular cell biology have improved our understanding of the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying tumor initiation and progression‚ contributing to the evolution of strategies for prevention, surveillance, early diagnosis, and treatment. Presently, many clinical trials that examine the use of molecular-targeted therapies that inhibit the growth of tumor cells by interfering with the molecular mechanisms of HCC carcinogenesis have generated promising results. In this Special Issue of Cancers, we aim to collate original and review articles concerning “tumor suppressor” or “targeted therapy” in hepatocellular carcinoma. The Editor and Co-Editors will select the highest-quality articles focused on topics such as clinical screening, genetic testing, diagnosis, treatments, and the prevention of complications in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

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 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. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs).
