Innovative Cancer Therapeutics

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The development of efficacious drugs is highly challenging in cancer for various reasons including genetic heterogeneity. Current ongoing research on cancer therapy has turned out to be promising and has revolutionized the way cancer used to be treated before. The discovery of various cancer-related innovative therapies, like stem-cell-based therapies, nanoparticle-carrier-based therapies and immunotherapy have tackled the concerns of conventional cancer treatment therapy (chemo and/or radiotherapy), treatment outcome, treatment-related side effects, drug specificity, drug metabolism and drug toxicity, etc., to a great extent. However, every treatment protocol has its own advantages and disadvantages linked with various clinical characteristics of tumor as well as inter/intra tumoral heterogeneity. Therefore, we still need more research targeted towards innovative cancer therapeutics that can lead to improved prognosis and survival with no/less treatment-related complications with a strategy to convert a terminal disease into a more controllable condition.

Innovative cancer therapeutics is a peer-reviewed journal that will focus on high-quality research articles focusing on various aspects of emerging cancer therapeutics that are currently being researched with an aim to provide information and advanced knowledge to the researchers working in this area. Additionally, we sincerely appreciate and acknowledge insights and discussions from oncology professionals globally. The main scope of this journal issue is to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers from all over the world to publish quality research as well as review articles covering the broad aspects of cancer therapeutics including basic, clinical research, translational research, technological advancements, precision diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
