Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of peptide-based therapeutics offers a promising avenue for cancer treatment due to their specificity, potency, and minimal side effects. This Special Issue, “Peptide Therapeutic Approaches for Cancer Treatment,” aims to explore the latest advancements in peptide therapeutics for cancer, highlighting innovative research, clinical applications, and future perspectives. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles addressing the design and optimization of therapeutic peptides, novel peptide–drug conjugates, and peptide-based delivery systems. Additionally, studies utilizing bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and molecular imaging to enhance peptide therapy efficacy and targeting are of particular interest. We encourage submissions that highlight both preclinical studies and clinical applications, aiming to advance the understanding and application of peptide therapies in oncology.
This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics related to peptide applications in cancer therapeutics, from basic research to clinical applications.
