Bionanotechnology in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy

The cancer research world is looking forward to bionanotechnology to  find the best solutions for a complete cure from cancer, which is not  possible with the current established treatment methods. The past decade  of research on nano imaging and drug delivery in cancer has witnessed  many interesting papers and reviews, but there has not been a concise  resource that discusses all fields related to nano cancer research in  diagnosis and drug delivery. This book fills this gap and presents the  latest bionano research in cancer, focusing on nanodiagnostics and  nanotherapy.

The book is organized into two sections. The section  on nanodiagnostics focuses on topics such as diagnostic methods in  cancer-related therapy and use of radiolabeled nanoparticles, magnetic  nanoparticles, acoustically reflective nanoparticles, X-ray computed  tomography, and optical nanoprobes for diagnosis. The section on  nanotherapy focuses on nanomaterials in chemotherapy, magnetic  nanoparticles for hyperthermia against cancer, phototherapy,  nanotechnology-mediated radiation therapy, nanoparticle-mediated  small-RNA deliveries for molecular therapies, and theranostics. The book  will serve as the gateway to enter the beautiful and elegant field of  bionanoscience, which is considered the last hope for the fight against  cancer and will be a highly useful resource for the students,  researchers, teachers, and curious readers working in this field or  related fields.
