Cancer has severely threatened people’s health in the world. Currently, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery are still three dominant treatment methods. However, due to drug resistance and other reasons, most cancer patients often have a poor prognosis. Therefore, developing a novel method for accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of cancer is essential in medical science. In recent decades, nanoparticles have attracted great scientific interests in medical areas such as drug targeting and delivery, imaging, biosensing, and biomaterials. Importantly, nanotechnology and nanoparticles could provide many opportunities for improving the current challenges in cancer diagnosis and therapy, making them highly attractive in the aspect of oncology.
The Research Topic aims to provide a platform for researchers to present their latest research findings, discuss the future development and possible challenges faced in nanomedicine, and promote the transformation from basic medicine to clinical medicine.
The types of manuscripts include Original Research, Review, Mini-Review, and Perspective articles. Potential themes for this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:
1. Cancer therapy of nanomaterials
2. Cancer imaging of nanomaterials
3. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery system and drug controllable release system
4. Future perspectives for anticancer nanomaterials
