Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Altered metabolism is recognized as a core hallmark of cancer and regarded as important as other features, such as sustained angiogenesis and avoiding immune destruction. Cancer cells can reprogram their metabolism to promote cellular growth and proliferation, adapt to nutrient- or oxygen-depleted environments, and escape immune surveillance.
Metabolic imaging targets these alterations in metabolic pathways for the evaluation of different clinical conditions. In cancer, imaging and quantifying metabolic changes noninvasively enhances our understanding of carcinogenesis and holds great potential to facilitate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment effectiveness.
The aim of the present Special Issue is to serve as a forum for the publication of original studies and review articles addressing the non-invasive imaging of metabolism and metabolic pathways in cancer.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
