Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of histopathology has undergone several innovations, and tissue analysis has substantially contributed to improving the current knowledge on cancer pathophysiology. Indeed, advancements in the fields of cancer genomics and epigenomics have allowed for the identification of new tumor entities and the refinement of histological classifications.
Nonetheless, the backbone of these new discoveries remains the eye of the pathologist, who, starting from the glass (or, more recently, the virtual) slide, delineates the steps to bring about the correct diagnosis and most appropriate treatment for patients.
We are pleased to announce the launch of this new Special Issue, entitled “Current Status and Future Prospects of Histopathology in Cancer Diagnosis”, of the Journal of Personalized Medicine.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advances in the field of oncological histopathology and welcome original research articles and systematic reviews focused on cutting-edge discoveries in cancer diagnostics, with particular interest in studies that aim to identify correlations between tumor morphology and immunophenotypical and/or molecular features in human cancers. We also encourage fellow researchers to submit articles on new tissue biomarkers that may provide prognostic information and aid in selecting the most appropriate therapeutic strategies for patients with cancer.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine 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 2600 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.
