Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current research highlights the importance of genomics in predicting tumor progression, identifying driver mutations, and informing personalized therapies in many types of cancer. This Special Issue will cover genomic alterations, driver mutations, tumor evolution metrics, and the integration of genomics with clinicopathological and artificial intelligence-aided approaches to predict and understand cancer outcomes, progression, and recurrence. Contributions will include a broad range of topics, such as:
- Genomic alterations in carcinogenesis: mechanisms of genetic and epigenetic changes leading to cancer initiation and driving carcinogenesis.
- Genomic drivers of cancer progression: identification and characterization of genomic mutations and variations that drive tumor growth and metastasis.
- Genomic markers for cancer recurrence: development and validation of genomic biomarkers for predicting cancer recurrence.
- Precision medicine and genomic targeting: applications of genomic data in personalized cancer therapies and targeted treatments.
- Bioinformatics and computational approaches: advanced computational methods for analyzing genomic data in cancer research.

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. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
