Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fight against metastatic cancer is crucial in almost all cancers, and is one of the main challenges for medicine. Moreover, cancer-related deaths are the second leading cause of non-incidental deaths worldwide. Recent reports show the enormous potential of microfluidic technologies in cancer diagnosis, monitoring patients, screening and evaluating the effectiveness of applied therapy.
This Special Issue focuses on microfluidic systems that are currently being developed to capture individual circulating tumour cells, exosomes, and circulating tumour DNA, etc., from the patient's blood, which could be treated as rapid cancer biomarkers. As personalized medicine develops, the demand for cancer biomarkers is growing rapidly, giving the possibility of applications of microfluidic technology.
Therefore, articles reporting recent advances in the use of microfluidic technology for cancer biomarkers, as well as closely related topics, are very welcome.
Dr. Slawomir Jakiela

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
