Abstract

The field of nanotechnology has revolutionized various scientific disciplines, including medicine, where it offers a promising approach to cancer therapy. This paper delves into the current trends of nanotechnology applications in cancer therapy, highlighting recent advancements and future directions. Nanoparticles, being the backbone of nanotechnology, have demonstrated their potential in delivering therapeutic agents directly to cancer cells, thereby enhancing efficacy and reducing side effects. The abstract further discusses the use of nanotechnology in targeted drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostic procedures. Additionally, it explores the challenges associated with the development and implementation of nanotechnology in clinical settings and examines the regulatory frameworks in place to ensure patient safety. The paper concludes with an outlook on the future of nanotechnology in cancer therapy, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and continued research to overcome existing limitations.
