Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Cancer Nanotherapy and Nanodiagnostic" is an interdisciplinary field where nanoscience, nanoengineering, and nanotechnology interact with the life sciences.
The use of nanomaterials offers numerous advantages when compared to conventional cancer medicine, including innovative therapeutic and imaging modalities, improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic performances, enhanced tumor penetration and targeting, increased contrast efficiency and multi-spectral capabilities, possibility to develop smart delivery systems and point-of-care devices. Thanks to their multifunctional properties, nanomaterials also provide the opportunity of combining diagnosis and therapy (theranostics) in a single platform.
This Special Issue of Cancers entitled "Cancer Nanotherapy and Nanodiagnostic" welcomes both original papers and review articles addressing recent research and novel developments in the field of nanomaterials for applications in cancer therapy and diagnostic, including their modelling, fabrication, characterization, and in vitro and in vivo applications.

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.
