Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is a branch of science where nano-objects are developed for several uses and targeted applications, and also for medicine, opening a new, prospective field called nanomedicine (i.e., nanotechnology applied to medicine) for targeting drug delivery, for example, in cancer therapy. In this respect, smart nanotechnology tools such as nano-devices (nano-channels, nano-chips or tailored nano-particles for farmaceutical delivery) may improve available (nano-)theranostic tools for treating (and may even diagnose) cancer. This Special Issue aims to collect contributions from the multidisciplinary scientific community in the field of drug delivery in order to develop and strengthen new nano-tools and ideas for improving cancer therapy in the near future.

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 communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Cancers 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 2900 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.
