Nanomedicine: Development and Challenges in Cancer Treatment | Biomedgrid

A brief review of the literatures on development and challenges associated with success of nanomedicine for cancer therapy is presented. Nanomaterial shape, size and characteristics plays an important role in an effective treatment. The chemotoxicity, non-targeted and non-uniform heating in tumors were the major drawbacks in nanomedicine assisted hyperthermia, however recent developments in nanomaterials possessing multifunctional characteristics enabled better diagnosis and helped in the treatment of cancer.
