Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is one of the main causes of death for humankind. The main methods of clinical cancer treatment are still chemotherapy, surgical resection and radiotherapy, but these therapies cause great pain and economic burden to patients in the process of treatment. Additionally, accurate early diagnosis and an efficient therapeutic strategy are the two most essential aspects in guaranteeing a favorable prognosis for patients. As such, cancer treatments could benefit from the development of nanotechnology. Numerous nanomaterials with a multifunctional nature, tunable physical and chemical properties and outstanding biocompatibility have been synthesized and applied in bioimaging, drug delivery and various cancer therapies.
We invite you to submit appropriate full papers, communications and reviews regarding the reasonable design, controllable synthesis and surface functionalization of nanomaterials for integration into cancer therapy and diagnosis to this Special Issue.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
