Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation oncology and nuclear medicine are placing increasing importance on testing and employing biomarkers to reveal key information about specific cancers and how they respond to particular therapies. Another pivotal issue is the manner in which biological molecules modify individual responses to ionizing radiation. Innovative targeting based on molecules that increase the local effects of radiation is a further aspect to be considered. The objective of this Special Issue is to furnish a comprehensive overview of contemporary methodologies employed for predicting outcomes and modifying responses to external radiotherapy, brachytherapy, and internal radiotherapy in the domain of nuclear medicine. A particular focus of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the molecular mechanisms intended for personalized approaches in the application of ionizing radiation for cancer treatments.

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. Cells 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 2700 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.
