Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Innovations in Urological Cancers

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the molecular mechanisms driving urological cancers and their translation into innovative therapeutic strategies. Advances in genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, and tumor microenvironment analysis are reshaping our understanding of disease progression, treatment resistance, and patient stratification. The issue aims to integrate basic, translational, and clinical research, highlighting biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, molecular targets for systemic and local therapies, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and precision surgery. By bridging molecular biology with clinical practice, this collection seeks to define future directions in the personalized management of urological malignancies.

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.
