Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in anticancer strategies have introduced several promising approaches aimed at increasing treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects. These new strategies against cancer include, but not are limited to, immunotherapy (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, and cancer vaccines), targeted therapy (e.g., tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies), nanotechnology, combination therapy, gene editing techniques, advanced imaging techniques, cancer metabolic pathway targeting, and tumor microenvironment modulation. Most recently, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have been used to analyze large datasets to identify new drug targets, predict patient responses to treatments, and develop personalized treatment plans. These new approaches can accelerate the discovery of new anticancer drugs and personalized medicine that can be tailored to the individual characteristics of each patient’s cancer. All these strategies represent a shift towards more precise, personalized, and effective cancer treatments. Ongoing research and clinical trials continue to refine and expand these approaches, offering hope for improved cancer outcomes in the future.
This Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of novel anticancer strategies so as to improve early detection and prevention, overcome resistance, and increase patient survival rates. Original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome for submission to this Special Issue. Through our efforts, we hope that the impact of developing novel anticancer strategies will extend beyond the basic research paradigm and contribute to the broader goals of improved public health, medical innovation, and healthcare sustainability.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
