Cancer Nanotechnology

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

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.

Special 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!

Featured collection — Multiscale Modelling for Cancer Radiotherapies: from X-rays to ions

Andrey Solov'yov and Eugene Surdutovich present this new collection, which provides a platform for scholars and practitioners in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and medical science, to share and exchange their research, knowledge, and insights related to the scientific base of assessment of cell inactivation in the course of radiation therapy of different modalities from x-rays to ions.
