Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urological cancers, including bladder cancer, kidney cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and penile cancer, remain some of the most prevalent and challenging malignancies, with outcomes varying significantly across patients due to genetic, molecular, and clinical factors. This Special Issue, "Advancing Precision Medicine in Urological Cancers: Integrating Multi-Omics and Optimizing Therapeutic Approaches," aims to explore cutting-edge research and innovations that bridge the gap between molecular discoveries and personalized therapeutic strategies. The integration of multi-omics—including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—provides an unparalleled opportunity to refine risk stratification, identify novel therapeutic targets, and optimize treatment strategies. By highlighting advances in pharmacogenomics and biomarker discovery, this Special Issue will emphasize precision oncology tools that guide tailored interventions. This Special Issue will also address the role of cancer-specific genomic variations and clinical factors in disease incidence, progression, and treatment response. We invite submissions that explore a range of topics, including multi-omics approaches for characterizing disease heterogeneity, mechanisms of treatment resistance, liquid biopsy innovations, and strategies to optimize the accessibility and impact of precision medicine. This Special Issue will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and a resource for advancing personalized care in urological cancers.

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.
