Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomedical informatics can be broadly applied to cancer research. Fundamentally, it is a form of data science. Most of its applications are driven data, such as multi-omics profiling data from various tissue samples from cancer patients, animal models, and cell cultures, clinical data collected from clinical trials or electronic medical records, or databases developed using various public domain data sources. This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge biomedical informatics methods used to solve cancer research questions. Biomedical-informatics-led discoveries will be computationally or biologically validated. They include, but are not limited to, the following applications.
- Target and biomarker discovery and validation using multi-omics data.
- Tumor heterogeneity and molecular and cellular classification using single cell multi-omics data.
- Cancer therapy efficacy and adverse event prediction using real world data and evidence.
- Drug repurposing.
- Systems biology research on the functions of oncogene, tumor suppressor, essential genes and their crosstalk for tumor progression and metastasis, drug resistance.

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. Cancers 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 2900 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.
