Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for about 9.6 million deaths in 2018. The percentage of mortality, mainly due to the lack of a timely diagnosis or to chemotherapy-driven side effects, remains challenging today. Nanoparticle-based precision medicine represents a very attractive tool, as it able to shape the prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of oncological diseases based on the characteristics of an individual or of a limited group of patients. This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of the latest information on new approaches and methods for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer, based on precision nanomedicine.
