Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) in Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy
This special issue belongs to the section "Tumor Microenvironment".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled "Extracellular Vesicles in Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy" delves into the pivotal role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) within oncological research. Extracellular vesicles, encompassing entities such as exosomes and microvesicles, represent a class of cell-derived nanoscale particles. These vesicles are increasingly acknowledged for their significant roles in intercellular communication and their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic vectors in cancer. This compendium of research and review articles illuminates the molecular mechanisms through which EVs influence tumorigenesis, metastasis, and the tumor microenvironment. It also explores the advancements in EV-based technologies for early cancer detection, monitoring, and the delivery of targeted therapeutics, thus underscoring their transformative impact on cancer diagnostics and treatment modalities.

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 communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
