Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometrial cancer represents a real global public health problem, accounting for 2.1% cancer deaths, making it the fourth most common cancer in women. Moreover, its global incidence and mortality rates are still rising each year, supporting the idea that therapeutical strategies need to be urgently revised and improved.
This Special Issue aims to shed light on the recent advances in relation to the molecular background of endometrial cancer using large genomic assays.
Enormous progresses have been made from the publication of the 2013 TGCA classification of endometrial cancer. Currently, the international guidelines are promoting a histomolecular approach in order to perform a more accurate prognostic risk stratification to improve the discovery and experimentation of more innovative targeted therapeutics.
Along this line, the present Special Issue will provide a comprehensive review of the current molecular discoveries on endometrial cancer and discuss the future implications of the new histomolecular diagnostic approach in prognostic risk evaluation and in therapeutic strategies.
Dr. Angela Santoro

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
