Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the new Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, entitled “New Insights into Chemotherapeutic Agents in Cancer Treatment”. This issue seeks to highlight innovative research that advances our understanding of chemotherapeutic agents, exploring their mechanisms, efficacy, toxicities, and integration into progressive oncological practices.
The focus of this Special Issue includes the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents, mechanisms underlying drug action and resistance, innovative delivery systems, novel approaches into diminishing toxicity regarding cancer treatment, and the role of molecular and genetic biomarkers in optimizing therapeutic strategies. Contributions that address challenges such as overcoming drug resistance, minimizing toxicity, and enhancing patient-specific treatment outcomes are more than welcome.
This Special Issue provides a platform for multidisciplinary collaboration and aims to shape the future of cancer therapeutics. We invite you to share your valuable insights and findings with the scientific community as we collectively work towards improving the landscape of cancer care.
Dr. Eleni Stamoula
Guest Editor
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.
