Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common adult kidney neoplasm. It is an aggressive heterogeneous tumor with an unpredictable prognosis. Targeted therapies have significantly improved the metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patient outcome. However, many refractory cases have been reported. A better understanding of the molecular basis and immunobiology of this aggressive tumor can pave the way toward the discovery of new therapeutic strategies for RCC.
We are pleased to announce our Special Issue, entitled “Understanding the Molecular Basis and Immunobiology of Renal Cell Carcinoma and Exploring Novel Therapeutic Strategies”, and invite you to contribute to it.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for developing a deep understanding of RCC pathogenesis, as well as recent advances in treatment choices in renal cell carcinoma to further optimize patient outcomes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular basis and immunobiology of renal cell carcinoma;
- Biomarker discovery, including diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers;
- Recent advances in RCC diagnosis;
- Molecular diagnostics;
- Innovative therapeutic options for RCC.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Heba Khella
Guest Editor
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 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). 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.
