Molecular Targeted Therapies and Precision Medicine for Malignant Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of personalized medicine, the development of curative cancer therapies is supported by customized treatments concerning a patient's unique biology and metabolism, to ensure the best individualized therapeutic approach is taken. Cancer cells steadily amend gene transcription, translation and post-translational protein modifications to produce and use specific molecules that are essential in the process of growth, proliferation and expansion. When evaluating patients’ response to targeted therapy, genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, proteomic, metabolic and environmental aspects are considered.

For this Special Issue, we invite original papers, reviews and communications focused on personalized medicine for cancer, including approaches to diagnosis, treatment and prevention that consider genes, proteins, other metabolites, family history, environmental conditions and lifestyles.

Prof. Dr. Anica Dricu

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
