Foreword

Research in nanomedicine is a fast-emerging topic of study with broad application potential throughout the whole healthcare sector. They include a wide range of technologies, ranging from particles to networks and nanostructures and theragnostic applications. A selection of the most recent and representative breakthroughs in nanomedicine, which have been carried out in the context of a wide range of different cancer varieties, are presented in this book. This book is primarily concerned with the use of nanomedicine and nanotechnology in the treatment of different types of cancer. There will be an introduction to a variety of nano-carriers, specifically nanoparticulate systems, NLCs, and carbon nanostructures, polymer nanocomposites. There will also be an introduction to a variety of methodological techniques for the treatment and targeting of a number of cancer groups, such as lung, cervical, breast, and ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, and others. It emphasizes some of the most important aspects related to synthesis strategies for a wide range of nanostructures, and it offers readers to research on the creation of surface-modified nano-systems for cancer detection and treatment. The chapters include a wide variety of advanced data from existing and ongoing clinical research, as well as major regulatory considerations and issues. This reference book will be of great use to oncologists, health care professionals, research scientists, physicians, pathologists, biologists, biochemistry specialists, chemists, pharmacists, and people interested in cancer biology and nanomedicine and renowned professionals who are engaged in ground-breaking research.
