Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological cancers, including ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers, present significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. Biochemistry and molecular biology play pivotal roles in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these cancers. Advances in genomic profiling, proteomics, and metabolomics have revealed key biomarkers for early detection, prognosis, and therapeutic targets. Specific mutations, such as those in BRCA1/2 genes, have enhanced personalized treatment strategies, particularly in ovarian cancer. Additionally, molecular signaling pathways, such as those involving PI3K/AKT and MAPK, are critical in cancer progression and resistance to therapies. Understanding the tumor microenvironment, including immune evasion mechanisms, may also open up promising avenues for immunotherapy. This Special Issue explores the intersection of biochemistry and molecular biology in gynecological cancers, emphasizing the development of novel diagnostic tools, therapeutic approaches, and the exploration of molecular markers. These advancements offer hope for improved patient outcomes through targeted precision medicine strategies.

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.
