Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, cancer therapy has advanced substantially, thus significantly enhancing the quality of life of cancer patients. However, successful tumor therapy remains a major challenge, particularly in tumors that are resistant to chemo or radiation therapy. The main factor in determining the therapeutic effect is the tumor’s response to radiation, which is correlated with intrinsic or acquired radioresistance after treatment. Consequently, future research must continue to advance our comprehension of the fundamental mechanisms of chemo and radiation resistance when it is related to target mutations, the tumor microenvironment and signaling pathways in cancers. This is in order to identify novel biomarkers and to develop new radiosensitizers and combined strategies that are able to overcome the resistance of tumors to therapy. This Special Issue aims to collect current research in the realm of tumor radiosensitizers, the fundamental mechanisms of radioresistance and the identification of novel biomarkers. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Tumor drug radiosensitizers
- Tumor nanoparticle radiosensitizers
- Fundamental mechanisms of resistance
- Novel biomarkers
- Innovative combined treatments
- Chemo- and radiation-resistant tumors

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
