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.

Foreword

It gives me immense pleasure to write the foreword for the book “Role of Nanotechnology in cancer therapy” brought by expert academicians and researchers.

Pharmacy is the field where novel concepts arise by researchers frequently. Nanotechnology and nanocarriers have emerged as a big Iceland of good prospects in the pharmaceutical sector. A foundation of nanotechnology knowledge is one of the necessary aspects for building adequate knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills for pharmacy students, researchers, and educators to be successful in their careers.

Nanotechnology has lately created a buzz in the world, embracing the study and application of nanomaterials in the medical field. Nanotechnology and new drug delivery systems are becoming increasingly important in pharmacy curriculum, making it difficult for students to understand the concepts thoroughly in a short period of time.

Primarily aims at carrying out research on finding innovative nanotechnological solutions for a disease state like Cancer. Besides, it also endeavors to provide a platform to represent the experience and advanced knowledge of researchers and academicians across the globe.

Each chapter of this book includes the formulation approach of different nanocarriers and recent nano formulation developments in various cancers. The content of each chapter would be beneficial to all the readers, including students, faculty members and other persons working in the field of nanocarriers.

I wish this book to be a vital asset not only for the experts but also its effective resource for all researchers.
