Submission Open: 2nd October 2023 Submission Deadline: 29th March 2024 We are pleased to offer a 25% discount on the Article Processing Charge (APC) for articles submitted to this Topic Collection. Please visit our author hub for more information about the benefits of submitting to a Topic Collection. In the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the treatment and diagnosis of tumours. However, side effects, drug resistance and early-stage diagnosis remain challenges that will dampen the clinical outcomes. Nanomedicine that uses nanobiotechnology to deliver anti-cancer drugs or bioimaging reagents has had a great impact on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, e.g., Abraxane, Doxil, Ferumoxsil etc. In the meantime, cancer immunotherapy has generated durable tumour inhibition. However, the initial success was dampened by its low response rate. With respect to this topic, we will put together the most recent research on nanomedicine in cancer therapy and diagnosis and their potential applications in clinical translation. We will also present current advances in nanobiotechnology in improving cancer immunotherapy. In addition, this topic will include nanobiotechnology in monitoring immune responses, which would guide clinical practice. Submissions on the following topics are welcome: - Utilization of nanotechnology in the delivery of anti-cancer drugs or bioimaging reagents - Applications of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer - Advances and development of nanomedicine for cancer treatment - Nanobiotechnology used for monitoring immune responses

We particularly encourage original research articles and meta-analyses. Please see the instructions for authors for submission requirements for each article type.
