Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Research on early diagnosis will help cure the disease at earlier stages. Chemotherapy is a frequently used treatment option for cancer, but this results in unwanted side effects. Nanotechnology-based targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells will ensure better therapeutic outcomes and minimize unwanted side effects. Lipid nanoparticles have been proven to be instrumental in gene therapy for the treatment of cancer and other infectious diseases. Immunotherapy for cancer is another attractive approach to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. In this Special Issue, we will focus on nanoparticle-based strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
