Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiotoxicity is heart damage that arises from certain cancer treatments or drugs. It can develop years after cancer treatment. Although the molecular mechanism related to chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is associated with activation of oxidative stress in oncologic patients, studies with a more standardized design and better characterized populations are necessary to evaluate novel molecular axes. Further, the development of new technologies allows the analysis of a large volume of data, which may lead to enabling a more precise description of the molecular processes related to cardiotoxicity after chemotherapy.
Here, I propose an ambitious special issue to change the conceptual framework used for the management of cardiotoxicity. The aim will be to detail novel molecular mechanisms related to cardiotoxicity, with novel pharmacological targets described to design pioneering therapies to treat or prevent cardiotoxicity related to chemotherapeutic treatments.

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.
