Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The completion of the human genome project and the availability of high-throughput technologies have led a dramatic change in cancer research. In the past few decades, oncological studies are evolving from traditional to molecular oncology. Numerous researches have contributed to our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression, defining pathways that influence cancer therapy and response, as well as developing new tools and therapeutics to prevent or manage cancer more effectively. The field of molecular oncology is growing rapidly and it has a great impact on basic science, clinical study, and translational cancer research. This open-access special issue will bring together original research and review articles on molecular oncology. It highlights new discoveries, approaches, and technical developments in molecular cancer research. The main feature of this special issue is to provide an open-source sharing of significant works in the field of molecular oncology that can advance our understanding of cancer development which may lead to the discovery of novel molecular diagnostic technologies and targeted therapeutics.
Topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:
- Key biological processes such as: cell cycle, DNA repair, apoptosis, autophagy, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, signaling pathway
- Molecular tumor pathology
- Tumor microenvironment
- Cancer epidemiology and prevention
- Cancer biomarkers: screening, diagnosis, treatment response, prognosis
- Cancer therapy: target discovery, drug design, resistance, targeted therapy, theranostics, personalized medicine
- Translational cancer research
- High-throughput technologies: genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microarray, next generation sequencing, and other omics technologies
- Genomic and proteomic databases and applications
