Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has reached the culmination of translational research with the pivotal NETTER and VISION trials. Patients suffering from metastatic neuroendocrine tumors and metastatic prostate cancer tumors now benefit from this new treatment modality in our departments. However, we should continue and intensify preclinical and clinical research to determine the best place of TRT throughout the various progressive stages of cancer. We should also focus our efforts on deciphering treatment resistance and recurrence mechanisms but also testing novel combinations and dose regimens for targeted radio-/immuno-/chemotherapies. Finally, the design of novel radiopharmaceuticals armed with innovative radionuclides for TRT or for pretherapeutic imaging or radiopharmaceuticals targeting novel molecular signatures of cancer cells might expand the applications of TRT to diseases not currently eligible for TRT and would increase the efficacy of TRT.
This Special Issue of Pharmaceutics welcomes articles (original research, review, and short communication) on the production and use of novel radionuclides for cancer imaging and therapy, and the design and (pre)clinical evaluation of novel radiopharmaceuticals, along with new strategies to improve the efficacy of TRT.

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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
