Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last several decades, exercise has been identified as a critical integrative approach for the primary and secondary prevention of solid tumors and heme-based malignancies. Additionally, the literature also supports the use of exercise in the prevention of or recovery from cancer and treatment-associated side effects, namely cardiotoxicities. The overwhelming number of published studies in this area, while mostly descriptive, provide the foundation for more in-depth analysis of the mechanisms by which exercise promotes cancer survivorship. In this Special Issue, we hope to dive deeper into understanding how exercise augments metabolic pathways associated with cancer onset and progression while also attempting to explain the mechanisms by which exercise protects against cardiotoxicities and promotes recovery. Studies utilizing cell culture, animal models, and clinical trials that cover (but are not limited to) the topics on the metabolic analysis of tumorigenesis and cardiooncology using omics-based approaches, biological pathways analysis, and interactions between other physiological processes and metabolism are needed to address the gaps in our science.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
