Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, Metabolism and Precision Oncology, examines how the dynamic landscape of cancer metabolism drives tumor evolution, immune modulation, and therapeutic response. We welcome studies that elucidate metabolic pathways underlying cancer initiation, progression, and resistance, as well as research integrating metabolomics, multi-omics, and spatial or single-cell technologies. Topics include nutrient sensing, mitochondrial and lipid metabolism, redox balance, tumor–host interactions, and metabolism-guided therapeutic strategies. Both original research and reviews linking metabolism to clinical biomarkers, imaging, and treatment outcomes are encouraged. By connecting fundamental biochemistry with translational and clinical perspectives, we aim to reveal how metabolic reprogramming can guide biomarker discovery, therapeutic targeting, and the next generation of precision oncology.

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.
