Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genetic and epigenetic alterations, as well as the crosstalk between tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment, have been widely investigated in order to understand the basis of cancer proliferation, invasiveness, metastasis and therapeutic resistance. Despite this enhanced knowledge, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of each tumor remain unclear. Therefore, there remains the need for the following:
- A deeper definition of the genetic and epigenetic changes that occur in various tumors;
- The enhanced detection of tumor microenvironment components.
This information could lead to the introduction of novel biomarkers that will facilitate the timely diagnosis of cancer or tailored therapeutic approaches (target therapies).
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and publish papers (original articles and full reviews) addressing the following topics:
- Cancer biology;
- Cancer genetics and epigenetics;
- Molecular mechanisms or pathways involved in cancer;
- Tumor microenvironment;
- Role of the immune system in cancer;
- Biomarkers for cancer detections;
- Biomarkers for therapeutic approaches.
We especially thank Dr. Parcesepe for his contributions and support to this Special Issue.
Dr. Guido Giordano
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
