Harnessing Oxidative Stress as an Innovative Target for Cancer Therapy
Description
In the last few decades, the understanding of oxidative stress in cancer has come into focus. Specifically, the various functions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a role in the progression of cancer and how this can be targeted for therapy.
In the recent literature, many significant contributions to understanding how oxidative stress is regulated in cancer and how this can be targeted for therapy have been achieved. This special issue aims at creating a multidisciplinary platform for recent advances in oxidative stress and how this is used for cancer therapies. This issue accepts high quality articles containing original research results and review articles of significant merit and editorial commentary of research articles. Readers of this journal will know more about this exciting area of cancer research and how it can be applied to cancer therapy through the lens of oxidative medicine.
