Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer development depends on complex interplays at the genomic, transcriptional, metabolic and proteomic levels. Multi-omics analysis has significantly improved our understanding of complex tumors by offering the opportunity to characterize cancer biology, heterogeneity and plasticity at many molecular levels. Indeed, combining multi-omics data is central to discover the fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying oncogenesis. Several omics approaches, such as genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, metabolomics and proteomics, are available to analyze various, complementary biological layers with high-throughput technological advances.
The integration of multiple omics techniques has introduced a novel paradigm in oncology, from tumor site classification to pan-cancer molecular classification, contributing to the discovery of next-generation diagnostics, biomarkers, and new therapeutic opportunities for precision medicine. This Special Issue aims to collect the most recent advances in multi-omics research, focusing on the latest innovations in multi-omics approaches for characterizing cancer biology and multi-omics data integration for the identification of prognostic and treatment-specific biomarkers, introducing personalized cancer therapy.
This special issue is supervised by Dr. Silvia Zappavigna and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Marianna Abate.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
