Novel Approaches for Canine Melanoma

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to present the main aspects involved in the development and neoplastic progression of canine melanomas and the therapeutic resources used in these animals. Furthermore, we intend to present manuscripts that scientifically demonstrate promising prognostic factors and potentially effective therapeutic responses for the control of canine melanomas. In addition to original articles, we also consider submissions of comprehensive review articles related to the presentation of molecular aspects involved in the progression, prognosis and treatment of canine melanomas, prepared by members of our editorial board, societies, authors and reviewers, to be valuable. Articles in this Special Issue will be published via our open access platform after thorough peer review.

New proposals for prognostic assessment and therapeutic targets in canine melanomas are necessary to complement the results already evident in the literature, and we believe it is important to validate existing information presented by different research groups.

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. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
