This book discusses the available preclinical and clinical nanoparticle technology platforms and their impact on cancer therapy; it discusses current trends and development in the use of nanostructured materials in chemotherapy and chemotherapeutics. In particular, coverage is given to the applications of gold nanoparticles and quantum dots in cancer therapies. In addition to the multifunctional nanomaterials involved in the treatment of cancer, coverage is also given to nanocomposites able to target tumoral cells and release of antitumoral therapeutic agents. Nanostructures for Cancer Therapy provides an up-to-date overview covering the inorganic and organic nanostructures involved in the diagnostics and treatment of cancer. Provides an examination of nanoparticle delivery systems for cancer treatment, illustrating how the use of nanotechnology can help provide more effective chemotherapeutic treatmentExamines in detail he different types of nanomaterial used in caner therapy, and explains the effect each hasProvides a cogent overview of recent developments in the use of nanostructured materials in chemotherapeutics, allowing readers to quickly familiarize themselves with this area INDICE: 1.
