Investigation of the Metabolic Mechanisms Underlying Breast Cancer: Navigating from Diagnosis to Survivorship

Dear Colleagues,

Breast cancer stands as one of the most prevalent and intricate malignancies affecting individuals globally. Understanding the metabolic processes that are related to disease onset, progression, treatment and survivorship is crucial. This Special Issue provides a pivotal platform for researchers and clinicians to explore and understand the intricate metabolic pathways associated with breast cancer across the entire continuum of the disease from initial diagnosis to the survivorship phase. Contributions to this Special Issue span a diverse array of topics, including but not limited to metabolomic profiling for cancer diagnosis, unraveling metabolism changes as cancer progresses and metastasizes, exploring metabolic changes during cancer therapy and interventions to manage cancer-related symptoms or side effects. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive view of the metabolic mechanism involved in the entire journey of breast cancer, from diagnosis to therapeutic interventions and survivorship, offering valuable perspectives for improved care. The goal is not only to enhance our understanding of the disease but also to pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies and personalized interventions.

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.
