Molecular Target and Action Mechanism of Anti-cancer Agents 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

The idea of precision oncology is no longer new, but recent advances in functional genomics and proteomics are changing the way physicians and scientists approach the diagnosis of cancer risk as well as treatment. Although precision medicine is not yet part of routine care for most cancer patients, increased knowledge of cancer diagnosis with more detailed stratification based on patients’ genetic changes helps to move the field of precision oncology forward. Of course, developing new anticancer agents targeting genetic changes is another important part of precision oncology. In this context, this Special Issue aims to cover all areas of molecular-mechanism-based research for anticancer therapy. It welcomes original research, review articles, and short communications on specific molecular mechanisms of any anticancer agents, including conventional chemotherapy, novel potential anticancer drug candidates, and their combinations with any other anticancer modalities.

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-anonymized 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.
