Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume of our previous Special Issue "Cancer and Stresses".
Cancer is a heterogeneous disease that promotes cell growth, disables cell death mechanisms, and evades immune surveillance and therapy. Metabolic stress is a common occurrence in human tumours and is caused by multiple factors. The tumour-mediated metabolic stress response is linked to both apoptosis and autophagy, and understanding these pathways is essential for developing cancer therapies. In this Special Issue of Stresses, our objective is to explore the mechanisms of cellular stresses in cancer prognosis and treatment. Cells can respond to stress in various ways, ranging from the activation of survival pathways to the initiation of cell death that eventually eliminates damaged cells. Potential topics regarding cancer development include the molecular mechanisms underlying oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune evasion, apoptosis, use of antioxidants as combination therapy, and potential cellular stress biomarkers. Authors are invited to submit original research papers, reviews, and short communications.

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. Stresses is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
