Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Molecular Oncogenetics: Insights into Cancer Development, Drug Resistance, and Personalized Treatments”, aims to bring together cutting-edge research and reviews that explore the complex interplay of genetic and molecular alterations driving cancer progression and therapy resistance. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive platform for the latest discoveries in oncogenetics, with a focus on the genomic and transcriptomic landscapes that underpin cancer development, hereditary cancer syndromes, and the mechanisms of drug resistance.
We invite submissions that delve into the molecular alterations and oncogenetic mechanisms influencing cancer cell behavior and patient outcomes. Studies that leverage genomic and transcriptomic data to unravel the genetic landscape of cancer and identify biomarkers for early detection and prognosis are particularly welcome. Additionally, we seek research that investigates the molecular basis of drug resistance, aiming to uncover novel therapeutic targets and strategies to overcome resistance.
A key focus of this Special Issue will be on personalized cancer treatments, where insights from oncogenetics are applied to tailor therapies to individual patient profiles. We encourage contributions that demonstrate the application of molecular oncogenetics in developing precision medicine approaches, including the design of personalized treatment regimens based on genetic and molecular profiling. This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. Daniela Calina and Dr. Luca Falzone, assisted by Guest Editor Assistant Dr. Graziana Spoto (Humanitas Hospital of Catania; University of Catania, Italy).

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.
