Clinical Pharmacology in Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer therapeutic options are rapidly evolving and include the development of new advanced therapies that target vulnerabilities specific to cancer cells and the optimization of existing therapies to increase the efficacy and/or reduce occurrence of treatment-related adverse events. It is an exciting time for cancer pharmacology, with rapid advances improving treatment options for many cancer types at an unprecedented pace.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight cutting-edge research in cancer pharmacology, including (1) the identification of new therapeutic targets in cancer and/or the development of new or refined targeted therapeutics, (2) improved methods for individualized anti-cancer therapies based on novel predictive biomarkers of the therapeutic response or toxicity, and (3) therapeutic resistance mechanisms and means to overcome resistance. Original research articles using preclinical or clinical models, as well as comprehensive reviews, are welcome for this Special Issue.

Dr. Steven Offer
