Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In many countries around the world, cancer is the leading cause of death. This is particularly the case in developed countries which have an increasing average age of their populations. Despite great advances in its treatment, with numerous advances in chemotherapy, surgeries and radiation treatments, there are still many cancers which have poor patient prognosis and limited available therapies. There is therefore still a real need to develop new treatments for cancer, especially treatments with fewer side-effects than older classical treatments.
In this Special Issue, we wish to focus on all areas related to the development of new anti-tumour agents. This includes the discovery, design, synthesis and biological testing of novel treatments for cancer.
Prof. Dr. David Barker
Guest Editor
