Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer in women. Although patients initially respond well to surgery and chemotherapy, tumor recurrences often combine with metastasis and chemoresistance. In the fight against this type of tumor, the identification of the molecular mechanisms and early biomarkers responsible for cancer initiation, development, and progression is of primary importance. Several molecular pathways and mutations are involved in ovarian cancer pathogenesis, alongside ovarian cancer stem cells and the tumor microenvironment, which are key factors in ovarian cancer initiation and relapses and strongly influence therapeutic efficacy. Together, these aspects could represent possible targets for the development of novel combined anti-cancer therapies. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome on areas that may include (but are not limited to) the role of signaling pathways, cancer metabolism, tumor microenvironment components, and novel therapeutic combinations in human ovarian carcinoma.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
