Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer, as a complex and heterogeneous disease, presents numerous challenges in the management of its diagnosis and treatment. The advent of omics technologies—including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics—has revolutionized our understanding of cancer biology by identifying, characterizing, and quantifying the biomolecules and molecular processes in cancer cells. By integrating data across multiple omics platforms, researchers can uncover novel biomarkers, identify new therapeutic targets, elucidate mechanisms of drug resistance, and develop innovative treatment strategies. These advancements not only enhance the accuracy of cancer diagnosis but also pave the way for personalized treatment strategies tailored to each patient’s molecular profile.
This Special Issue, “The Role of Omics in Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment”, aims to compile both experimental and computational studies that demonstrate the transformative impact of omics technologies in human cancer. This Issue encompasses a wide range of topics, from identifying genetic mutations and epigenetic alterations to exploring proteomic and metabolomic profiles driving cancer progression, as well as developing algorithms for multiplatform data integration. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome.

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.
