Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Feature Papers in Section Cancer and Cancer-Related Diseases”, is dedicated to highlighting high-impact, innovative studies that advance our understanding of cancer biology, treatment, and prevention. This collection seeks to showcase cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that address critical challenges and emerging opportunities in the field of oncology. Given this context, this Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research focused on innovations in relation to cancer and cancer-related diseases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Cancer genetics and epigenetics;
- Tumor immunology and immunotherapy;
- Tumor microenvironment dynamics;
- Mechanisms of carcinogenesis and metastasis;
- Cancer metabolism and metabolic reprogramming;
- Diagnostic biomarkers and precision oncology;
- Therapeutic resistance and novel treatment strategies;
- Cancer epidemiology and prevention;
- Cancer predisposition syndromes;
- Translational research bridging basic and clinical oncology.
Submissions should present substantial methodological advances, mechanistic insights, or clinically relevant findings with the potential of having a significant field-wide impact. Interdisciplinary studies integrating molecular biology, computational approaches, and clinical applications are particularly encouraged.
