Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer remains the leading cause of death despite the tremendous effort in the development process of active ingredients and therapeutic approaches and delivery strategies. This hurdle may account for the resistance and metastatic progression due to the lack of specificity of active treatments. The targeting therapy sheds light for a better hope of “cure” in which cell–cell communication, cellular surface, cellular organelle, intrinsic signaling or cellular genetic materials could be on target for a potential treatment. This Special Issue proposes an open forum for updated strategies towards target cancer cells. New molecules, therapies with a low cytotoxicity, high efficacy or delivery systems with high loading capacity, biocompatibility, and tumor specificity could offer cancer patients new opportunities for improving effectiveness and life quality.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
