Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in endometrial cancer research have significantly improved the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of the disease's molecular characteristics. Molecular and genomic profiling now allows for enhanced cancer classification, facilitating personalized treatment approaches targeting specific genetic mutations and molecular subtypes. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising option for advanced or recurrent cases, with drugs like pembrolizumab and dostarlimab showing efficacy in mismatch repair-deficient tumors. Despite progress, challenges remain in areas such as molecular analysis, personalized treatments, and prognosis. This Special Issue focuses on advancing endometrial cancer research by presenting original studies and reviews that highlight novel discoveries, technical innovations, and translational applications, fostering open access to knowledge and driving advancements in diagnostics and therapeutics.
Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: endometrial cancer; molecular tumor pathology; tumor microenvironment; cancer epidemiology and prevention; biomarkers: screening, diagnosis, treatment response, prognosis; cancer therapy: target discovery, drug design, resistance, targeted therapy, and personalized medicine; genomic and proteomic databases and applications.

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.
