Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) presents the most frequent malignancy in humans, demonstrating a consistent and progressively increasing annual incidence rate. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma account for the vast majority of NMSC. Although the mortality rates associated with these tumors are relatively low, they impose a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems due to their high prevalence. Moreover, they are linked to considerable morbidity, particularly in patients with facial tumors that cause extensive local damage. In line with the recent progress in the molecular basis of malignant tumors, NMSC has also received considerable attention during the last decade.
In this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences on ‘Molecular Mechanisms in Tumorigenesis of NMSC’ original studies and well-conducted review articles will be published, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the molecular landscape of NMSC, including underlying (epi)genomic alterations and interactions with tumor microenvironment, opportunities and challenges of novel targeted therapeutic approaches, and the advantages of molecular profiling, biomarkers, and molecular monitoring, which will translate to improved clinical management of these patients. Looking forward to the latest research in molecular, non-purely clinical studies.

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.
