Gynecological Cancer: Targeted Therapeutics and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

It is well-known that gynecological cancers represent a real global public health problem. Moreover, their worldwide incidence and mortality rates are rising yearly, supporting the idea that therapeutical strategies and screening programs must be urgently revised and improved. This Special Issue aims to shed light on the recent advances in understanding the molecular background of gynecological cancer using significant genomic assays. The international guidelines promote a histomolecular approach to perform more accurate prognostic risk stratification and open the way to discovering and experimenting with more innovative targeted therapeutics. In this way,  the present research topic will provide a comprehensive review of the molecular alterations and the clinical evidence of ongoing and ended clinical trials on gynecological cancer and discuss the future implications of innovative molecular diagnostic and therapeutical approaches.

Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, pure clinical studies will not suitable, but clinical submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcomed.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
