Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a complex disease characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation and dissemination of aberrant cells throughout the human body. This pathological condition stems from alterations in the fundamental genetic code encoded within our DNA. Predominantly, these alterations manifest within specific DNA segments referred to as genes.
The expanding frontiers of scientific knowledge have led to molecular biology playing a pivotal role in contemporary oncological research. This prominence arises from its capacity to identify mechanisms underpinning cellular growth and differentiation, novel diagnostic indicators, and therapeutic focal points. Thus, molecular biology has emerged as the fulcrum of progressive advancements in the field of oncology, offering possibilities for developing efficacious therapeutic interventions.
This Special Issue of IJMS, ‘Cancer Biology: From Genetic Aspects to Treatment, 2nd Edition’, led by Dr. Silvia Cantara, will focus on new insights, novel developments and discoveries, current challenges, and future perspectives in the field of cancer biology.
Therefore, we invite you to submit your papers to this Special Issue.
Dr. Silvia Cantara
Guest Editor
