Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit research articles and reviews to our Special Issue titled, “Molecular Pathology and Diagnostic Biomarkers of Gynaecological Cancers”.
Gynecological cancers are considered one of the most common causes of mortality in women. Often, valid screening approaches are still lacking and current treatment strategies include conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy; however, recently big strides have been made in the field of targeted therapies. Overall, the role of molecular pathology in the management of advanced-stage malignancies has rapidly evolved. Numerous different genomic alterations have been described as potential targets for personalized therapies. Therefore, the identification and correct standardized assessment of predictive and diagnostic biomarkers is pivotal for adequate selection of patients as eligible candidates for targeted therapies. In this Special Issue, we would like to discuss methods, findings, and, eventually, a new proposed scoring system for molecular biomarkers that will help in the early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, prognostic definition, treatment decision-making, and drug resistance prediction in gynecological malignancies. Ongoing research is warranted to improve the clinical outcome of affected patients. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Prognostic risk stratification;
- Early diagnosis;
- Differential diagnosis;
- Targeted therapy;
- Molecular classification.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
