Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Epithelial cancers originate from the epithelial cells lining organs and tissues and constitute a significant portion of human malignancies. This special issue aims to focus into the intricate molecular processes underlying the development and progression of epithelial cancers, potential interferences and common pathways, as well as specific mechanisms and particularities. We invite original articles, reviews, and other types of papers that explore molecular mechanisms, diagnostic innovations, therapeutic advances, as well as new data on tumor resistance and recurrence, potential pitfalls in the management of these patients, and translational research that bridges the gap between fundamental and clinical research with application in clinical innovation. By encompassing a wide range of topics from molecular biology to clinical practice, our special issue aims to provide a platform for current advancements and future directions in the field of epithelial cancers. We encourage contributions that offer new insights, propose innovative approaches, highlight the translational potential, and overall aim to improve patient outcomes in the context of this type of malignancy.
Dr. Cristian Scheau

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
