Introduction

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 nanomedicinal approach. Several drug-delivery systems which 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, immonotherapy 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 advancement in cancer nanomedicine.

Audience: undergraduate and postgraduate students, oncologists, pharmacists, and researchers involved in nanomedicine and nano-drug delivery about current advancement in cancer nanomedicine.
