Ozone Therapy in Cancer Treatment
This special issue belongs to the section “Molecular Oncology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ozone therapy is increasingly applied all over the world; however, despite the wide scientific evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of ozone treatment, the mechanistic explanation for its positive effects is still incomplete.
This Special Issue aims at illustrating established and novel knowledge on the cellular and molecular mechanisms accounting for the observed effect of ozone therapy and its clinical implications for different aspects of cancer treatment, such as the enhancement of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or the potential effect in the prevention or treatment of several chemotherapy- or radiation-induced side effects, among others.
We invite researchers from all fields—physicians, pharmacologists, biologists, chemists, etc.—to present their results and propose prospective clinical applications by contributing short reports, original research articles, or review papers. Manuscripts may deal with the findings obtained on patients or animal models in vivo as well as on tissues and cells in vitro.
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
