Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasing incidence of thyroid carcinoma has been registered in the last decade. Although the majority of patients has an excellent prognosis, the management of patients with invasive tumors and/or distant metastases, especially when they are not efficaciously responsive to radioiodine, represents still a major clinical challenge. A better understanding on the characterization of the morphological, mutational, transcriptional and genomic profiling of the different types of thyroid cancer is necessary. Therefore, it is important individuate new molecular approaches for a better and useful characterization of these tumors. This Special Issue thus aims to provide an update on new genetic, epigenetic, molecular mechanisms and also on the new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches found for thyroid cancer (Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, pure clinical studies will not be suitable for our journal).

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.
