Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynecological cancers remain a significant cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. Despite progress in prevention, early detection, and therapy, outcomes for many patients are unsatisfactory due to tumor heterogeneity, late diagnosis, and the development of treatment resistance. Recent advances in molecular biology, genomics, and multi-omics technologies have provided unprecedented insights into the biological and genetic mechanisms underlying these diseases. Such knowledge is driving the transition from conventional therapeutic approaches to precision oncology, where treatment decisions are guided by the molecular characteristics of individual tumors.
This Special Issue, “Gynecological Cancers: Molecular Insights to Precision Therapy”, aims to present recent advances in the understanding of the molecular basis of gynecological malignancies and their clinical translation. The contributions focus on the discovery of new diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers; the elucidation of genetic, epigenetic, and immunological mechanisms of tumor progression; and the development of targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies. Special emphasis is given to translational and integrative studies linking molecular alterations with clinical outcomes, with the goal of promoting truly personalized therapeutic approaches.
By bringing together multidisciplinary research from molecular scientists, pathologists, and clinicians, this Special Issue seeks to foster collaboration and accelerate the implementation of precision medicine in the management of gynecological cancers, ultimately improving patient survival and quality of life.

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-blind 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.
