Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast and gynecologic cancers continue to pose significant global health burdens, accounting for substantial morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. Despite the progress in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, challenges remain in predicting disease progression and patient outcomes. The rapid expansion of molecular pathology has provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis of these malignancies, highlighting the important role of genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic alterations in shaping the tumor behavior. This Special Issue, entitled “Novel Biomarkers and Emerging Therapeutic Targets for Breast and Gynecologic Cancers,” aims to explore the interface between molecular pathology and clinical practice. We welcome contributions that identify novel biomarkers with diagnostic or prognostic value, as well as those that uncover emerging molecular targets with potential therapeutic applications. Particular emphasis will be placed on translational research that bridges the gap between molecular discoveries and real-world implementation in pathology and oncology. We invite researchers in molecular biology, cancer genomics, pathology, oncology, and related fields to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful perspectives that advance our understanding of breast and gynecologic cancers—including, but not limited to, breast, endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and fallopian tube carcinomas. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this timely and impactful Special Issue.
Dr. Hisham Bahmad

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.
