Role of Nanotechnology in Cancer Therapy

The role of Nanotechnology in Cancer Therapy gives an overview of the innovative nanocarrier-based approaches for managing various cancers such as gastric, skin, lung, and prostate cancers. The book also explores the evolving targeting approaches specific to cancer and the immunotherapy-based nanomedicine approach. Several drug-delivery systems that reduce the overall toxicity of cytotoxic drugs and increase their effectiveness and selectivity are also discussed in this book.Key Features- Discusses the potential benefits and therapeutic applications of nanoparticles in cancer management

- Provides information about therapy in a range of cancers- Discusses recent developments in cancer nanomedicine including targeted therapy, immunotherapy nanoparticles and dual drug delivery- Includes safety and toxicity considerations- Provides references for advanced readers

This book will inform a broad range of readers including undergraduate and postgraduate students, oncologists, pharmacists, and researchers involved in nanomedicine and nano-drug delivery about current advancements in cancer nanomedicine.
