Targeted Drug Delivery to Improve Cancer Therapy, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Increasing the localization of drugs to hematologic or solid tumor cancer cells by targeted drug delivery holds great promise to improve the treatment of cancer with conventional and nonconventional drugs. Given the broad range of drug types, cancers, and tumor heterogeneities, the successful clinical application of targeted drug delivery will continue to require the preclinical development of multiple drug delivery approaches for selection and further clinical development.

This Special Issue seeks to highlight original research articles and reviews on the preclinical development of targeted drug delivery approaches to improve the pharmacotherapy of cancer with conventional and nonconventional drugs. Research areas include any approaches that improve the treatment of preclinical cancer models with small-molecule (<900 Da) or macromolecule drugs (e.g., biomolecules) (e.g., increase potency and/or efficacy, decrease toxicity) by increasing the localization to the site of action in hematologic cancer cells or solid tumor/tumor-associated cells in primary and/or secondary tumors.

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.
