Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to the Special Issue “Urogenital Cancers: New Molecular and Translational Aspects on Carcinogenesis and Treatments”. Most types of urogenital cancer present with non-specific symptoms and the arrival of the diagnosis is often late.

Despite progress in the most innovative tumor therapies, the appearance of chemoresistance and metastasis represents a common cause of death in patients suffering from urological neoplasms. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new early diagnosis approaches and therapies that can improve treatment outcomes. For this purpose, it seems important to implement an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that occur in urological tumors and the research on molecular biomarkers capable of predicting tumor behavior and the risk of disease recurrence and chemoresistance.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research articles and reviews relating to urological neoplasms.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The aspects to address are as follows:

  • Molecular mechanisms involved in the carcinogenesis of urogenital tumors;
  • New treatment and diagnosis approaches for urogenital tumors;
  • Identification of specific molecular targets for urogenital tumors;
  • New knowledge on etiological factors (viruses, nutrition, and environmental contaminants).

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. Biomedicines 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 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.
