Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is our first Special Issue of the topic “Gynecologic Oncology: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapies”.
Gynecological cancers with major clinical significance and incidence that arise in the female reproductive organs include endometrial, cervical, ovarian, vaginal, and vulval cancers, along with gestational trophoblastic disease. Gynecological cancers implicate an important public health issue, with a spread among women of all ages. The disease is sometimes diagnosed at a late stage due to a lack of notice of specific symptoms, scarce screening, and sometimes misdiagnosis. Late diagnosis, together with limited treatment options for the advanced stages of cancer, play a pivotal role in the high mortality rate, and we are all aware of the necessity for further advancement in this sphere.
Recently, molecular mechanisms that influence the biological pathways involved in different cancers and regulate cancer-relevant processes have been demonstrated. The emergence of new genetic techniques has improved the understanding of the mechanisms essential for pathology. Such molecules and their interactions in the pathogenesis of gynecological malignancies have considerably ameliorated the management of the diagnosis and personalized treatment for different forms of cancer.
We are inviting submissions of original research articles, reviews, and communication on topics relevant to any aspect of gynecological cancer: molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of gynecological malignancies, diagnosis, and treatment for different forms of gynecological cancers.
Dr. Angel Yordanov

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.
