Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After decades of research, the major genes causing inherited breast and colon cancers have been identified. From testing one or a few genes at a time based on family history, the testing system from now on will mostly be gene panel testing or whole genome sequencing (WGS) based on incident cancer cases or early-onset cancers. Such analyses will generate previously unknown information. Determining how to interpret this information needs compilation of knowledge. This Special Issue invites the publication of results of panel testing or WGS in cancer cases and families to increase knowledge. Such knowledge is needed both for healthcare providers, to plan research projects, and for the individual care of each carrier of the genetic variants in question.

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. 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.
