Abstract |
Modern medicine has been waging a losing war against cancer for more than a century. Although cancer treatments have advanced significantly, they still need to be more specialized and less likely to cause systemic side effects. A technological revolution in diagnostic technologies is imminent, and improving prognosis outlook and patient quality of life requires early detection. Nanotechnology has demonstrated its ability to advance cancer treatment, radiotherapy, diagnostics, and imaging, all of which have witnessed consistent improvements. In order to develop radiation adjuvants with increased efficacy, precise early-detection instruments, and particularly focused cancer treatments, nanomaterials offer a wide variety of diversity, usefulness, and uses. The well-known cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have a number of drawbacks, including slow illness identification and out-of-area medication distribution. These therapies have a very limited power to cure and track the effects of the medicine in the human body since the exact drug concentration is not only dispersed throughout the body but also reaches the tumor location. These restrictions have been partially addressed thanks to nanotechnology. This paper discusses the existing clinical and pre-clinical Nano technological approaches for cancer drug therapy. |
