Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent neoplastic diseases in women, and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Breast cancer treatment is based on a multidisciplinary approach involving various specialists, such as breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and radiation and medical oncologists, with the goal of reducing breast cancer mortality. Through research focused on the molecular aspects of breast cancer, novel treatment approaches are being developed.
There are numerous areas that remain to be addressed in research on this devastating disease. Thus, this Special Issue offers a timely opportunity to publish studies exploring the molecular aspects of breast cancer. Both original research and review articles are welcome, especially articles describing genes and molecular pathways that may serve as novel targets for experimental therapeutics and future clinical trials. It is expected that this Special Issue will become a useful resource for all investigators and clinicians interested in breast cancer research, and will inspire new research directions in the years to come.
Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, studies that are purely clinical are not suitable. However, clinical or pure model submissions reflecting biomolecular experiments are welcome.
Dr. Ioannis Boutas
Guest Editor
