Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with approximately 20 million new cases in 2022, indicating the critical need for the identification of innovative tools to enhance early diagnosis, accurate prognosis, and treatment monitoring. Therefore, the identification and validation of new, reliable, and specific biomarkers in tissue or liquid biopsy for cancer management are of great importance in oncology research.
This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in New Biomarkers for Cancers” aims to explore recent advances, translational research, and emerging technologies in biomarker research for improving early detection, personalized treatment options, and therapeutic monitoring.
Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, pure clinical studies will not be suitable for our journal. However, clinical or pure model submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcomed.
This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on topics including but not limited to the following:
- Identification and validation of novel biomarkers in various cancer types in tissue and liquid biopsy;
- Genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic biomarkers;
- Latest advancements in analytical methods’ implementation and standardization for biomarker detection;
- Role of biomarkers in early cancer detection, minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment, prognosis, treatment response prediction, and monitoring;
- Application of multi-omics data for biomarker discovery for precision oncology;
- Emerging trends in data-driven and machine learning biomarker discovery.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research in the rapidly evolving field of cancer biomarkers.

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.
