Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increase in cancer incidence, treatments containing cytotoxic drugs are widely used. The arrival of new selective therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies, keeps this therapeutic class very active and very stimulating for researchers. Analytical methods play a major role in the development of knowledge regarding their uses. Given the structural diversity of the drugs used in cancer treatments with chemotherapy and low molecular weight drugs to immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies, there is a very wide range of analytical approaches. Therefore, it is our pleasure to invite authors to submit an article for a Special Issue of Molecules titled “Advanced Analytical Technologies for Anti-cancer Drugs Analysis”, for which we serve as Guest Editors. This Special Issue aims to cover research trends in the development of analytical and bioanalytical methods that are relevant to the analysis of cytotoxic agents in pharmaceutical formulations, in biological samples (new drugs or new formulations, therapeutic drug monitoring, biomonitoring of exposed healthcare professionals, in environmental samples (surface and air contamination, wastewater)).
This Special Issue will consist of a comprehensive review, original research articles or short communications featuring important and recent developments in the analysis of anticancer drugs, including chemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- therapeutic drug monitoring
- pharmaceutical analysis
- environmental
- cell or organ distribution
- drug metabolism
- occupational exposure
- toxicology
- biochemical analysis
- mass spectrometry
- analytical chemistry
Papers on interesting developments related to sample preparation, separation techniques, and spectroscopic methods, as well as any novel techniques for small molecules or monoclonal antibodies, are very welcome.
The submission deadline is 15 December 2021. All manuscripts will undergo a comprehensive review according to standard journal procedures and policies.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
