About This Special Issue
Despite great progress in the treatment of children and adults with different types of cancer, substantial numbers of patients continue to die of these diseases and the short and long-term toxicities of standard therapy are substantial. . Several molecules have been investigated as a target: specific signal transduction.

We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles in this field. Potential topics include, but not limited to:
1. Monoclonal antibody-based therapies.
2. Immunotherapy using T cells genetically engineered.
3. Targeting the NOTCH signaling pathway in this disease.
4. Small-molecule gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs).
5. Cancer stem cells (CSCs).
6. Specific signal transduction.
7. Cell surface marker and microenviromental factors.
8. Several drugs (salinomycin, metformin) .
