Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic profiling has greatly contributed to a deeper understanding of altered biochemical networks and pathways in prostate cancer. Cellular metabolism plays a key role in cancer proliferation. The accelerated growth rate of cancer cells is achieved by the modulation of physiological metabolic pathways, allowing a greater nutrient uptake and an increased macromolecular synthesis.
Specific genetic alterations appear to drive unique metabolic programs. These, in turn, can be used as biomarkers of genetic subtypes of prostate cancer, with implications for the development of metabolic diagnostics and precision medicine.
This Special Issue is devoted to “Recent Advances in Metabolic Profiling of Prostate Cancer”, and topics will include (but are not restricted to) the following:
- Precision medicine based on the metabolic analysis of biofluids;
- Cellular metabolism in cancer cells;
- Molecular signaling leading to a modulation of metabolic pathways;
- Metabolic profiling of understudied populations.

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.
