Nanotechnology in Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics

In each and every nation on the planet, cancer continues to be one of the main causes of mortality and a serious impediment to the advancement of efforts to extend the human lifespan. Now, the growth of nanotechnology has led to new ideas and approaches in the detection and treatment of cancer. These new ideas and methods were developed by researching and developing the one-of-a-kind features of materials at the nanoscale. In terms of detection and therapy, the effects that nanotechnology has had on cancer are discussed in this research, including the use of gold nanoparticles, electronic noses and gadolinium (III) oxide nanoparticles in diagnostic imaging as well as analysis of tumor-targeted therapies and nanoparticle drug transport, and concludes with a summary of the advantages and potential risks of nanoparticles. In general, nanotechnology has the potential to improve the sensitivity of detection methods, the accuracy of diagnostic results, and significantly boost treatment outcomes, thus opening up a new research avenue for the field of cancer science.
