Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a deadly disease affecting tens of millions of people around the world, and most cancer-related deaths come from advanced disease stages. Therefore, it is quite understandable that most cancer research is focusing on its late stages and metastasis and related exploration of treatment. However, it is equally important to continue to advance our understanding of the first step of cancer: how does it develop from normal tissues/cells? With decades of diligent efforts from numerous excellent cancer research scientists, we have accumulated a significant amount of knowledge about cancer initiation. In the current era of genomics and other -omics studies, cancer initiation research will achieve much more to finally reach the goal of applying the knowledge to detect cancers effectively and efficiently at early stages. Once that goal is realized, we will be able to not only save many people’s lives but also significantly ease medical burdens to not only patients and their families but also the whole society.
The two components of early detection of cancer are early diagnosis and screening. Therefore, this Special Issue will cover both early detection and screening. Any studies concerning the two directions are welcome here but please make sure that the results to be reported include mechanistic components that promote our understanding of cancer initiation and have the potential to make cancer early detection a reality in the future.

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 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. 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.
