Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The future of radiation research is a highly translational research area that integrates specific expertise in various areas of cancer and radiation biology, physics, experimental and clinical (radio)-oncology, and computational biology. The mission is to create strong added value and potential for innovation in the internationally emerging field of molecular personalization in radiation oncology by creating synergies through teamwork.
In order to move forward within this highly translational research field and the future of radiation science, it is important to foster the development of advanced model systems, technical methods, and novel approaches as well as the improvement of existing therapy strategies. All of these improvements will need to focus on both tumor and normal tissue responses with the aim to gain a better understanding of the underlying molecular effects, helping to ultimately improve the outcome and survival in patients.
This Special Issue aims to highlight (translational) innovative approaches with a special focus on young scientists contributing to the development in the field of radiation research including original basic and translational research, technical developments, and novel model systems, as well as clinical studies on various tumor types and from different scientific backgrounds and review articles covering the following major topics:
- FundamentalMechanisms in (Bio)Physics and DNA Repair
- Radiobiology of Non-Ionisingand High-LET Radiation
- Novel Strategies for Modulating Tumor Response and Anti-Tumor Immune Reactions
- Translational Research—from Bench to Bedside
- Radiation Response and Radiation Protection in Non-Malignant Cells and Normal Tissues
Related topics are also highly welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: translational research, (bio)physics, radiation biology, clinical (radio)-oncology, and computational biology.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
