Introduction:
Cancer has been one of the main causes of death for
mankind. However, the main methods of clinical cancer
treatment are still chemotherapy, surgical resection and
radiotherapy. But these therapies always cause great
pain and economic burden to patients in the process of
treatment. Benefit from the development of
nanotechnology, numerous nanomaterials with
multifunctional nature, tunable physical and chemical
properties, and outstanding biocompatibility have been
synthesized and applied in bioimaging, drug delivery and
various cancer therapies. Moreover, an accurate early
diagnosis and efficient therapeutic strategy are the two
most essential aspects in guaranteeing a favorable
prognosis for patients suffered from any cancer.
Thus, appropriate full papers, communications, and
reviews about this special issue in the reasonable
design, controllable synthesis and surface
functionalization of nanomaterials for integration of
cancer therapy and diagnosis will be favourably
received.

Lili Feng received her Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering from Harbin Engineering University in 2019. She joined the Nanyang Technological University as a postdoctoral research fellow under the supervision of Prof. Yanli Zhao in 2019. She then obtained the Humboldt Research Fellowship and moved to the Center For Hybrid Nanostructures (CHyN), Universität Hamburg as a “Humboldt Scholar” with the cooperation of Wolfgang J. Parak in 2020. In 2021, She joined the Harbin Engineering University as an associate Professor and received the National Youth Talent Program. Her current research interest in developing various types of theranostics, including research on nano-adjuvants and delivery systems, the controlled synthesis of nanomaterials and their biological effects, and the integration of multi-modal bioimaging technology and cancer therapy.
