Cancer Nanotechnology

Basic, translational and clinical research

Cancer is a group of diseases driven by inherently nanostructural problems. As such, there are obvious benefits to treatments employing nanoscale structures and processes. Cancer Nanotechnology aims to provide a forum so that the most promising emerging themes should be pre-eminent in the minds of researchers working in one—or, indeed, both—of the disciplines of cancer research or nanotechnology.

Cancer Nanotechnology accepted for inclusion in SCIE

New Content Item We are delighted to announce that Cancer Nanotechnology has been accepted for inclusion in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), a key database of Web of Science, published by Clarivate Analytics.

Starting 2020, Cancer Nanotechnology will be published in the annual Journal Citation Reports, at which point it will receive the associated journal metrics, such as Immediacy Index, Eigenfactor Score and Journal Impact Factor.

We would like to thank everyone for supporting Cancer Nanotechnology and contributing to this success.

Call for papers – Precision Oncology

We are pleased to announce a new cross-journal thematic series on ‘Precision Oncology’ across a number of BMC journals within the oncology portfolio to help bring together the latest research on precision oncology.

The thematic series is now open for submission of original research and review articles - for further information about this series please click the link above.

Article collections

Cancer Nanotechnology publishes special article collections on specific topics. Be sure to take a look at the list of collections we have so far by clicking the link above.

We welcome further submissions to these collections.

Alternatively, maybe you have a suggestion for a special collection of your own that you would like to edit. We'd love to hear from you if so!
