Description :

Nanobiomaterials in cancer therapy presents the major applications of nanobiomaterials in oncology offering an up to date overview of the latest research in this fieldutilizing nanobiomaterials novel therapeutic approaches enable significant improvements in drug loading capacity formulation stability and drug efficiency. Nanobiomaterials may be applied for cancer treatment either by passive or active pathways in the passive pathway nanoparticles circulate in the bloodstream and are accumulated into the tumor through enhanced permeability and retention effect in the active pathway nanoparticles reach the tumor through targeted drug therapy. The mainstay of current cancer treatment is the use of antimitotic and antiproliferative chemotherapy drugs figure 32 encapsulating these drugs in nanomaterials will circumvent limitations in solubility and bioavailability and increase the safety of administration download download full size image figure 32.
