Novel Diagnoses, Therapies and Related Mechanisms of Malignancies
This special issue belongs to the section "Molecular Oncology".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite extensive efforts to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatments, malignant neoplasms remain to be the top leading cause of death. At present, surgical procedure and chemotherapy are the standard of care, unfortunately, chemo-resistance often evolves and ultimately results in a poor prognosis especially for patients with aggressive and metastatic tumors.
This Special Issue is devoted to recent developments in novel diagnoses, therapies and related mechanisms of malignancies. The scope is broad, including but not limited to development of novel diagnoses for different types of cancers, effect of target therapies, key cellular-signaling events involved in malignancy, growth and differentiation of cells in normal and pathological states, bioinformatic studies related to the mechanisms of signaling events and gene regulation. Given IJMS is a journal of molecular science, we will welcome clinical submission with biomolecular experiments, but not pure clinical studies.

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.
