Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is essentially a genetic disease. Accumulated genetic mutations accelerate genome instability, which eventually leads to the uncontrollable growth of the tumor. Many cancer types have poor prognosis due to their clinical heterogeneity and molecular diversity. There is a great need to understand cancer biology and to create animal models to advance scientific knowledge and facilitate cancer treatments.
This Special Issue of Genes aims to highlight the most recent advances in animal modeling and its application in the field of cancer research. We invite authors to submit reviews, original articles, new experimental and computational methods, and commentaries that focus on any of the following topics: different animal models of cancer, applications of animal modeling, and translational research using animals in cancer research and the clinical field. We look forward to 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. Genes 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.
