Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasias in women, presenting from low aggressive luminal subtypes to highly aggressive triple negative/basal-like subtypes. Different omics approaches along with single-cell analysis have allowed significant advances in the understanding of the immune landscape of breast cancer. In this context, changes in the tumor microenvironment have a strong impact on disease progression and metastatic dissemination. Also, the immune cell composition has been associated with response to therapy and the acquisition of chemo- and/or radiotherapy resistance.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, titled “Molecular Research and Immune Landscape of Breast Cancer”, aims at providing an updated overview of recent advances in the molecular research of breast cancer research, with particular emphasis on the immune cell landscape and its impact on disease progression and response to therapy.
The formats for submissions include original research articles, brief communications, and reviews.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
