Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the recent explosion of knowledge on the possible molecular and cellular mechanisms implicated in tumor progression, the exact biological mechanisms are, in many cases, still not well understood. Tumor progression is an extremely complex, multistep and multifunctional biological process, and a better understanding of the underlying molecular events is pivotal for improvement in preventing and treating cancer. Although there are many well established molecular alterations that contribute to tumor progression and metastasis, the exact molecular mechanisms regulated by these alterations remain to be elucidated. Our limited understanding could be attributed to a broad range of factors, including an incomplete picture of the interplay between several pathways or cell type specificity of different pathways.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences therefore encompasses original and review articles on the molecular mechanisms of tumor progression in an effort to shed light on previously unknown and/or under-appreciated molecular events that ultimately lead to unfavorable clinical outcomes.

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.
