Biophotonics and Imaging for Cancer Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Biophotonics is a multidisciplinary research area covering applications of light-based technologies (from ultraviolet through visible and infrared to the terahertz region) to biology and medicine. There has been growing interest in the use of biophotonics and imaging for cancer screening and diagnosis and also for monitoring of treatment response. New technologies for early diagnosis and for effective treatment and monitoring of cancer are essential to improve prognosis and overall survival in patients.

Contributions are invited for this Special Issue from researchers working on biophotonics and imaging approaches for cancer screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of treatment in cells, tissues, and biofluids for all types of cancer. Both original articles and reviews are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to microscopy/imaging and spectroscopy, such as fluorescence, multi-photon, confocal, near field, OCT, UV-Vis, IR, THz, Raman, CARS, SRS, SERS, TERS, for in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo cancer applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
