Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in the mean life expectancy of humans as well as companion animals probably contributes to a higher incidence of neoplasms, with oncological disease today representing a major cause of death; however, there are important gaps in the knowledge of and subsequent interventions in these neoplasms, including many factors, such as the late diagnosis of neoplastic lesions and a lack of treatment options, that contribute to the poor survival of these patients. From this point of view, the molecular study of tumors and the search for molecules with prognostic value (cancer biomarkers, molecular diagnostics, immunotherapy, etc.) can open doors for a specialized characterization of tumors of each human or companion animal patient and better prognoses. This Special Issue is interested in the molecular pathology of oral carcinogenesis (including head and neck neoplasms) in human and veterinary patients that might contribute to an increase in the knowledge on oral oncology.

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.
