Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors with increasing incidence and prevalence. NENs clinical management requires a multidisciplinary approach, which has a positive impact on the survival of the patients.
NENs heterogeneity is linked to both biological and clinical characteristics. In recent years, the better understanding of NENs biology and the efforts of different specialists and researchers in investigating NENs treatment and diagnosis strategies have continually evolved NENs management as a field of investigation. As a result, many preclinical studies and phase II and phase III clinical trials have been completed, that have allowed the improvement of the treatment strategy and diagnostic tools for NENs. However, many other studies are ongoing and are expected to further improve our understanding of the biology of NENs as well as treatment and diagnosis.
This Special Issue aims to gather research on the biological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects that can offer real progresses in the management of NENs patients. Original research and review articles should present new data from basic or clinical research and/or analyze and discuss previous research in an innovative and original way.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
