Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Significant advances in the design and evaluation of novel radiopharmaceuticals in preclinical and clinical environments have allowed for wider adoption of imaging technologies, such as SPECT and PET, and treatment of various cancers. Numerous radiopharmaceuticals have become available commercially for various applications, and more are going through development and the regulatory approval process. These radiopharmaceuticals are critical to the diagnosis and staging of diseases as well as the selection of patients for various therapies and the monitoring of their outcomes.
The editorial team of Molecules is developing a Special Issue titled “Radiolabeled Compounds for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer”. This Special Issue will focus on all aspects of design, characterization, evaluation, and development of novel radiolabeled compounds for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and the application of new radiochemistry and methodologies for the development of novel radiolabeled compounds.
Submissions—both original research papers and reviews—related to the areas mentioned above are cordially invited.
Prof. Dr. Krishan Kumar
Guest Editor
