Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-grade gliomas represent a unique challenge for research. The tumors grow as masqued behind a plethora of neurological signs and their systemic effects. The intra-tumor and inter-tumor heterogeneity and the alliance with brain elements reveal them at an advanced stage. Surgery is possible depending on the neuro-anatomical location. Recurrent neoplastic cores often arise in the peritumoral area beyond the primary resection. Resistance to chemo and radiotherapy makes them very difficult to treat.
Despite advances in personalized medicine, immunotherapy, and the high-precision ion beam approach, the patient prognosis remains unfavorable, requiring urgent studies to understand brain tumor biology, polarization of the microenvironment, and systemic mechanisms.
The present Special Issue aims at collecting ideas, hypotheses, and proof to identify specific biomarkers within the mechanisms occurring in the brain tumor microenvironment, offering potential avenues for central nervous system re-education, personalized medicine, early diagnosis, and non-invasive anti-tumor approaches. Journal articles, reviews, and communications are welcomed.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
