Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a complex and challenging disease that imposes a significant economic burden on society. Despite extensive research aimed at understanding its biology, cancer remains persistent, and there is no cure for its advanced stages. As a result, there is growing interest within the scientific community in developing anti-cancer agents. This Special Issue will focus on the key challenges and recent advancements in targeted therapeutics that aim to improve effectiveness, reduce side effects, and overcome mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer treatment.
We invite authors to submit their research and review articles on the latest progress in therapeutic agents for this Special issue, entitled "Recent Updates and Future Perspectives of Anti-Cancer Agents". We will consider articles focusing on anti-cancer drugs, natural compounds, combination therapy, targeted therapy, nanotherapy, and translational therapy. The ultimate goal is to enhance our understanding of cancer and develop promising therapies that will improve patients' overall quality of life.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Santosh Kumar Singh
Guest Editor
