Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, concerns regarding cancer have grown rapidly. Many cancer screening programs are being implemented in high-and middle-income countries to reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer. However, the yearly rise in cases is disappointing considering the extensive use of various therapeutic approaches. Emerging evidence suggests that drug resistance and relapse also represent significant issues during treatment. Therefore, no single breakthrough can cure cancer; however, accumulating knowledge regarding the complex mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer could reduce the associated mortality rate. Thus, understanding signaling pathways and developing novel targeted techniques, including molecular, biochemical, immunological, and nanotherapy, may provide clinicians searching for new targets for treatment with hope.
To address these challenges, this Special Issue aims to present novel targeted therapies and their underlying mechanism. The scope of this Special Issue therefore includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: natural compound combination therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and nanotherapy. We welcome you to submit original research and review articles that address recent advances in this field.
