Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous importance of horses in sport, recreation, or as a workforce in underdeveloped countries has brought about an increasing need to update and expand the knowledge about equine diseases, including cancer. The research on cancer in horses and other equids is substantially less advanced than in other companion animal species. Despite this, neoplasia in equids is a common problem. Currently, advances in molecular biology and DNA sequencing provide an opportunity to determine the molecular profile of any cancer by enabling for the identification of specific mutations that occur in DNA or changes that arise at the epigenome level. Based on this overall picture, targeted treatment or immunotherapy can be applied by matching the molecular profile of the individual's cancer.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to publish original research papers or reviews addressing the molecular mechanisms in tumor initiation, maintenance, and progression in Equidae, taking into account their diagnosis and new treatment methods.

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. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
