Cancer Molecular Imaging in the Era of Precision Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

As much as new ideas are fundamental to the advancement of science, technological innovations are the engine of scientific progress. The convergence of omics, molecular pathology, laboratory medicine and molecular imaging, are the essential drivers towards precision medicine. This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances of multi-modality cancer molecular imaging in the era of precision medicine. The research themes selected for this issue represent important emergent areas in cancer research, which may well shape the future of cancer healthcare. Tumor and normal tissue microenvironment, along with the involvement of the immune system, in cancer development, progression and therapy, are key areas of focus towards better understanding of cancer biology and the working of therapies. The ultimate goal is not just to kill every cancer cell, but also to attack the “neighbourhood” in which the cancer play. In this regard, molecular imaging and nanotechnologies are the key tools envisioned to provide us with improved understanding of cancer biology and therapeutics.

In this Special Issue, we welcome original papers and review articles that will focus on the latest advances of multi-modality cancer molecular imaging in the era of precision medicine.

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.
