A STATE OF THE ART REVIEW ON CANCER NANOMEDICINE

  • Arjun Singh. M

Abstract

Cancer is known as one of the most daunting health care issues. While there are several approved medications that can be used for cancer therapy, the obstacles to treatment include drug resistance and delivery. In addition, the effectiveness of traditional cancer therapy is often decreased by the pathological features of tumors and their irregular blood vessel architecture and function. It is also important to search for techniques that can improve the therapy's effectiveness, such as nanoparticles (NPs). NPs have many properties, such as their small size, the ability to load different drugs and a wide area of the surface, and the ability to improve conjugate absorption. The NPs were therefore considered as excellent vehicles for tumor-targeting. This study will address the features of various NPs in the treatment of cancer and the advantages of overcoming multidrug resistance. In addition, this study will highlight recent developments in the use of nanomedicine in various cancer treatment techniques, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy.
