Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of cancer pathology in the new era of precision medicine is characterized by a dynamic interplay between morphology and molecular biology, with profound implications for clinical management. Traditional histopathology and immunohistochemical assays are now closely integrated with next-generation sequencing technologies that enable complete genomic profiling. A growing area of focus is investigating the role of the tumor microenvioronment, in particular the role of stroma and immune cells in neoplasia development and response to therapy. This Special Issue, Oncologic Pathology: Diagnostic Challenges, Molecular Advances, and Clinical Correlations, aims to present a curated selection of original studies and comprehensive reviews that highlight the evolving role of pathology in cancer care. Case reports with unique clinical significance are also welcome. We especially encourage contributions that explore the impact of emerging molecular diagnostics in the fields of genomics and epigenetics and how these innovations contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers to improve patient outcomes. We anticipate that this Special Issue will provide preclinicians and clinicians with the most up-to-date evidence on the role of oncologic pathology in guiding clinical decision-making across different tumor disease settings.

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.
