Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the first volume of this Special Issue being a great success (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/Therapeutic_Effect), we are very pleased to announce the second volume of our Special Issue titled “Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Effects of Drugs in Cancer—2nd Edition”. Despite significant progress in diagnosis and treatment, cancer remains the biggest challenge of modern medicine. The rapid advancement in molecular technologies and new sophisticated bioinformatic analytic methods have introduced novel therapeutic perspectives. This fuels hope for overcoming the major issues associated with drug treatment, such as cancer heterogeneity or multidrug resistance. We cordially invite you to present your outstanding cancer-drug-related discoveries in this Special Issue to the wider scientific and academic community.
In this Special Issue, we would like to present a collection of articles, such as reviews and systematic reviews, original papers, clinical trials, molecular and bioinformatics studies.
We are looking forward to your submission.
