Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This collection is the second edition of the previous one, "Inflammation in Cancer: A Target for Prevention and Therapy".
Chronic inflammation is a critical component of tumor progression and pathogenesis. Several inflammatory diseases increase the risk of cancer, and moreover, the activation of a pathway promoting inflammatory cytokine production and inflammatory cell recruitment is observed in tumors that are not directly related to an inflammatory condition.
Several questions related to the role of inflammation in molecular mechanisms and in tumor development are still unresolved.
In this Special issue, we aim to produce a collection of the latest progress associated with the role of inflammatory pathways in the development and progression of different tumors. Findings should provide insights into how inflammation can influence cell transformation, tumor formation, and metastasis and elucidate the therapeutic implications and effects given by modulating inflammatory signaling pathways.

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. Biology 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.
