Nanotechnology in cancer involves the application of nanoscale materials and devices for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of cancer. Nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanosensors are engineered to target tumors selectively, delivering drugs directly to cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. These nanomaterials can enhance imaging techniques for early detection, improve drug delivery by overcoming biological barriers, and enable precise monitoring of treatment responses at the molecular level. Additionally, nanotechnology facilitates the development of innovative therapies like photothermal therapy and gene therapy, offering promising avenues to improve efficacy and reduce side effects in cancer treatment.
