Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer pharmacology is a dynamic and rapidly advancing field, driving the discovery and development of novel therapies to overcome cancer. This Special Issue showcases cutting-edge progress in drug development, molecular targeting, and personalized medicine, providing novel insights into overcoming drug resistance and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. We invite contributions spanning a broad spectrum of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Mechanisms of anticancer drugs and drug resistance;
- Targeted therapies and precision medicine;
- Immunopharmacology and cancer immunotherapy;
- Innovative drug delivery systems;
- Pharmacogenomics and biomarker discovery;
- Combination therapies and synergistic drug interactions;
- Preclinical and clinical oncology research.
By highlighting these key areas, this Special Issue aims to foster collaboration and accelerate breakthroughs in cancer treatment.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that encompass fundamental and applied research in cancer pharmacology. We are particularly interested in studies that employ cutting-edge technologies, such as multi-omics approaches, high-throughput screening, and computational modeling, to advance our understanding of drug mechanisms and optimize therapeutic outcomes.
By bringing together diverse perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to foster innovation and collaboration in the fight against cancer. We invite researchers and clinicians to contribute their latest findings and insights to this important collection.
