Significant progress has been achieved regarding long-term survival for the patients of many cancers with the use of tamoxifen for treatment of breast cancer, treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia with imatinib, and the success of biological drugs. The transition from cytotoxic chemotherapy to targeted cancer drug discovery and development has resulted in an increasing selection of tools available to oncologists. In this Special Issue of Pharmaceuticals, we highlight the opportunities and challenges in the discovery and design of innovative cancer therapies, novel small-molecule cancer drugs and antibody?drug conjugates, with articles covering a variety of anticancer therapies and potential relevant disease states and applications. Significant efforts are being made to develop and improve cancer treatments and to translate basic research findings into clinical use, resulting in improvements in survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients. We demonstrate the possibilities and scope for future research in these areas and also highlight the challenges faced by scientists in the area of anticancer drug development leading to improved targeted treatments and better survival rates for cancer patients. 610 $agraphene oxide 610 $aindole 610 $aandrogens 610 $acyclooxygenase-2 610 $acyclooxygenase-1 610 $aheteropolysaccharide 610 $adrug conjugation 610 $adrug delivery 610 $aellipticine 610 $achemical linker 610 $aoesophageal cancer 610 $aantiproliferative activity 610 $atopoisomerase II 610 $a?-lactam 610 $aDSD 610 $aantibody 610 $atopoisomerase inhibitors 610 $amagnetic targeting 610 $acisplatin resistance 610 $asteroidogenesis 610 $a[18F]FDG PET/CT 610 $aheterocyclic chemistry 610 $adehydroepiandrosterone 610 $aantimitotic 610 $a3-vinylazetidin-2-ones 610 $aglioblastoma 610 $aand cancer therapy 610 $aintestinal mucositis 610 $aCombretastatin A-4 610 $ametabolism 610 $aanti-cancer drugs 610 $amaghemite 610 $aCOX-1 inhibitor 610 $aanticancer 610 $aCYP17A1 610 $aconjugate and hybrid drugs 610 $ainflammation 610 $asnticancer drugs 610 $aP450c17 610 $atumorigenesis 610 $acisplatin 610 $abiomarker profiling 610 $acancer drug design 610 $atubulin 610 $acytochrome P450 610 $a5-fluorouracil 610 $aprostate cancer 610 $aabiraterone 610 $aNCI screen 610 $aradiation 610 $acancer immunotherapy 610 $amicrotubule targeted drugs 610 $acancer 610 $atreatment resistance 700 $aO?Boyle$b Niamh M$4auth$01296346 702 $aMeegan$b Mary J$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367753903321 996 $aAnticancer Drugs$93024025 997 $aUNINA
