Cancer nanotechnology is a branch of nanotechnology concerned with the application of both nanomaterials (such as nanoparticles for tumour imaging or drug delivery) and nanotechnology approaches (such as nanoparticle-based theranostics) to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. ...
With passive or active targeting strategies, an increased intracellular concentration of drugs can be achieved in cancer cells , while normal cells are being protected from the drug simultaneously. Thus, nanotechnology restricts the extent of the adverse effects of the anticancer therapy. Treatment for...
Nanotechnology is a highly revolving biotechnology approach with a wide range of applications including in medical and environmental fields. The promising outcomes of nanotechnology research especially on chronic diseases such as cancer treatment encourage the scientific community to evaluate the toxicity of ...
Nanotechnology enhances chemotherapy and reduces its adverse effects by guiding drugs to selectively target cancer cells. It also guides the surgical resection of tumors with higher levels of accuracy and enhances the efficacy of radiotherapies and other current treatment options. The result is decreased...
More than 80% of patients diagnosed with lung cancer, for example, present with metastatic disease. Nanotechnology is not alien to the clinic; more than 40 nanotherapeutics have reached patients, including anticancer drugs and imaging agents. Many current therapies are not reaching the sites of ...
4.7 Multimodality NPs for cancer treatment Tumors are heterogeneous in nature, consisting of multiple cell types and with complex interplay between the cellular components contributing to make treatment challenging. One of the potential advantages of nanotechnology is the capacity to deliver and/or utilize...

Reprinted with permission. The nanotechnology-driven, multifunctionalized gold nanopopcorns can also be applied for targeted PTT treatment. NIR radiation was applied for PTT. In this report [43], a continuous-wavelength portable OEM laser operating at 785 nm was used as the excitation light source...
Smart nanoparticles, which can respond to biological cues or be guided by them, are emerging as a promising drug delivery platform for precise cancer treatment. The field of oncology, nanotechnology, and biomedicine has witnessed rapid progress, leading to innovative developments in smart nanoparticles...
