Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of new molecular techniques, we are able to reappraise our conventional classification system of soft tissue tumors, at least for certain tumor groups. Moreover, we are responsible for the development of new concepts.
A new classification mainly based on molecular findings may help treat patients better and collect adequate data of larger cohorts to understand the underlying biology and improve the therapy and assessment of prognosis.
In this Special Issue, we discuss categories of tumors, often selected in small groups based on clinicopathological findings, including immunohistochemistry, and wish to demonstrate that it would be useful to re-classify them due to the same genetic pathways and epigenetic findings leading to a more proper classification with clinical implications.

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. Cells 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 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.
