Editorial note
This Special Issue of Journal of Cancer Metastasis and Treatment is dedicated to the proceedings of the
2nd World Congress on Cancer 2018 held in Bologna (Italy) in July 23-25. The theme of the Conference
Cancer-2018 was “Oncology and Cancer therapeutics in the 21st century”.

Goal of the meeting was to share the foremost updated knowledge on the biology and the novel therapeutic
options in Cancer. The conference focused on the mechanisms of cancer development, on the relationship
between tumor microenvironment, metabolism and Cancer progression, novel technologies for early
detection, and on novel pharmacological approaches to treat cancer patients. Major topics included
epigenetics, inflammation, drug resistance, cancer stem cells, autophagy, cell metabolism, experimental
models, biobanking, immune response, cachexia, molecular diagnosis, biomarkers, patient clinical care and
complementary phytotherapy.

This Special Issue will cover the researches at the cutting edge in the study of the biology and clinical care
of Cancer presented at the Conference.

Invited Speakers, Poster presenters and participants can contribute to this special issue with either an
extended abstract (no page limit), Commentary, Original articles and (mini) review articles. Inclusion of
schemes, Figures and Cartoon summarizing the results is strongly encouraged. An “ad hoc” editorial team
will oversee the peer review of research and review articles.
