Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynaecological cancers, including ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers, remain a significant global health burden, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment, the complex molecular mechanisms driving these cancers are not fully understood, hindering the development of effective therapies.
In this Special Issue, we will delve into the intricate molecular biology underlying gynaecological cancers, in particular by uncovering the molecular mechanisms that drive the pathogenesis of these cancers and identifying genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations, and the dysregulation of critical signaling pathways. By understanding these molecular foundations, we will discover novel biomarkers for early detection and prognostic evaluation. We also seek to explore advancements in targeted therapies, emphasizing the development and application of molecular-targeted agents. This includes examining the efficacy and mechanisms of action of new therapeutic drugs, immunotherapies, and personalized medicine approaches tailored to the molecular profiles of individual patients.
Contributions, including original research articles and comprehensive reviews, that provide significant insights into the molecular biology of gynaecological cancers and pave the way for innovative therapeutic interventions are highly encouraged.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
