Abstract
The Research Topic entitled “Advanced Theranostic Nanomedicine in Oncology” presents a series of articles that describe the latest research updates of biologically-inspired nanostructures used in the field of oncology. In addition, it briefly describes the biological mechanisms of certain cancers and how we can take advantage of these mechanisms to improve the therapeutic efficacy of future nano-therapeutics. With this issue, we aim to raise awareness for the challenges in the common ground between the fields of oncology and biomedical engineering, and also to present up-to-date counter-challenging research achievements. The issue is comprised of 12 selected peer-reviewed manuscripts (8 reviews and 4 original research articles) derived from the fields of (bio)materials science and engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology.
