Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announced the continuation of our Special Issue “Current Advances in Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma” with a second edition.
The molecular basis of soft tissue and bone sarcoma has received considerable attention during the last decade. However, clinical outcomes continue to be dismal and have landed this group of cancers among the “most pressing” for development of new, effective therapies. The main barrier to successfully treating many sarcoma types is the lack of robust prognostic markers and the absence of effective therapeutics. The complex biology and tumor heterogeneity of sarcomas make it challenging to identify and evaluate new therapeutic targets and agents. These challenges are also compounded by the orphan disease status.
In this Special Issue, original studies and review articles on the diagnosis, pathobiology, and novel therapies of soft tissue and bone sarcoma, including genetics, epigenetics, immunotherapies, epidemiology, signaling pathways, and preclinical models, will be published. The issue will also cover reports on current treatments and novel combination therapies, including immunotherapies, providing novel mechanistic insights that may impact clinical outcomes.

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.
