Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the use of nanotechnology as a promising tool in cancer treatment is becoming a reality. Polymers have emerged as one of the most important and versatile raw materials to obtain novel nanovehicles to treat different types of cancer. The easy modification of different functional groups and polymeric chains can provide many types of polymers with a wide range of solubilities, including stimulus-responsive polymers that can allow selective drug release in different microenvironments and also the incorporation of various biomolecules to obtain smart nanovehicles, improving the selectivity and efficiency of nanosystems.
The search for new polymers that can be approved by different regulatory agencies for use as a raw material to obtain new nanoparticles for cancer treatment is currently an important topic in nanomedicine. In addition, establishing new methods for polymeric nanoparticle formulation, the encapsulation of new drugs and the modification of nanoparticles with different biomolecules to achieve more selective cancer treatment is a necessity.
Authors are kindly invited to submit original and novel works regarding the promising application of polymeric nanoparticles for cancer treatment, to be published in this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics.

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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
