Role of Nanotechnology in Cancer Diagnosis: An Advance Approach

Abstract

Worldwide, cancer is one of the main causes of mortality and low life expectancy. There is still a gap in the effectiveness of various cancer treatments, despite the fact that several methods have been developed to lower mortality, lessen chronic pain, and enhance quality of life. Early cancer cell diagnosis and high-specificity medication administration to minimize toxicities are essential elements in providing the best possible cancer treatment. Owing to the heightened systemic toxicity and refractoriness associated with traditional cancer diagnostic and treatment instruments, alternative approaches, such as nanotechnology, are being utilized to enhance detection and alleviate the intensity of the disease. Nanotechnology-based immunotherapeutic drugs have been employed for many cancer types throughout the years to lessen the invasiveness of malignant cells while protecting normal cells at the targeting site. This review discusses the various types of nanotechnologies that are commonly used in cancer diagnosis.
