Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, radiomics has become an important part of cancer research, and imaging is obviously a crucial tool for the management of cancer patients. For the present Special Issue, we wish to focus on the contributions of radiomics and machine (deep) learning developments dedicated to the use of PET images and MRI multimodal-sequence-derived modeling (obtained either in sequential/simultaneous PET/MRI integrated scanners or separated machines) for cancer applications, including diagnosis (e.g., virtual biopsy, staging), prognosis (e.g., risk stratification, survival analysis), therapy response assessment and predictive modeling (e.g., response to therapy prediction relying on before/during/after imaging), and relationships or combinations with other -omics (e.g., radiogenomics). We call for papers dedicated to the development of methods for image analysis and processing, integration of machine/deep learning developments within the radiomics framework, and clinically-relevant studies in patient cohorts regarding various endpoints for all types of cancer for which PET and/or MRI images play a significant role (e.g., brain, cervical, rectum, head and neck).

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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
