Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The risk of cancer appears to evolve over time as a possible result of changes in dietary, environmental and lifestyle factors. However, the etiology of cancer is complex; bacterial variability, host genetic and environmental are the strongest risk factors for the development of carcinoma. Gastrointestinal cancers are among the highest death-causing cancers in the world. The incidence of these cancers was an estimated 4.8 million cases and 3.4 million deaths worldwide. Gastrointestinal cancer is a group of cancers that affect the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal cancer includes esophageal, stomach, gallbladder, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, liver, pancreatic, colon, rectal and anal cancer. We aim to highlight new discoveries and advances in the mechanism, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of gastrointestinal cancer’s biochemical and molecular biology.
We encourage contributions that are focused on, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Inflammation and cancer biology;
- Anticancer study;
- Signaling pathway;
- Apoptosis;
- Autophagy;
- Necrosis;
- Necroptosis;
- Nanomedicine;
- Molecular/cellular biology;
- Immunology;
- Infection and infectious agents;
- Post-translational modification;
- Innate immunity;
- Host–pathogen interactions;
- Cell proliferation;
- Tumor.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to compiling a valuable collection that will explore further developments in this ever-changing field.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
