Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “New Insights into Radiation Oncology” covers all aspects of research affecting the treatment of cancer using radiation. It publishes findings from molecular and cellular radiobiology, radiation physics, radiation technology, and clinical oncology.
In addition to surgical removal and chemotherapy, radiotherapy plays an important role in numerous tumor entities. Particle irradiation with protons and carbon ions is particularly indicated for therapy-resistant tumor types such as sarcomas and chordomas, where conventional photon therapy (X-ray radiation) does not achieve satisfactory results. There are still many outstanding issues, particularly in the area of basic research.

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.
