This Research Topic delves into cutting-edge advancements in cancer therapy, focusing on the integration of plant-derived bioactives with chemotherapy. We seek to highlight innovative drug delivery systems, targeted and personalized therapies that enhance efficacy while minimizing side effects. We are particularly interested in studies that examine the synergy between traditional plant extracts and modern chemotherapeutic agents, emphasizing the bioactive compounds and mechanisms of action that underpin these novel approaches.
We aim to address current challenges such as drug resistance, toxicity, accessibility, ethical considerations, and regulations, while spotlighting future directions involving emerging technologies like nanoparticles, novel delivery systems, AI, gene editing, and 3D tumor models. Through this comprehensive overview, this Research Topic will show how the fusion of natural remedies with modern science can transform cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes.
Key areas of interest include:
Preclinical and clinical trials of natural products, phytochemicals, and nanoparticles in cancer treatment.
Biochemical, molecular, and cellular mechanisms of chemotherapeutics.
Novel biomarkers for monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.
Advances in drug discovery and drug repurposing for cancer.
The role of AI and machine learning in enhancing cancer therapies.
By integrating modern scientific innovations with traditional knowledge, this Research Topic seeks to advance our understanding of how natural solutions can shape the future of cancer therapy and overcome current limitations.
