Abstract
Cancer nanotechnology is a relatively novel interdisciplinary area of comprehensive research that combines the basic sciences with engineering and medicine. Nanotechnology involves creating and utilizing the constructs of variable chemistry and architecture with dimensions at the nanoscale level comparable to those of biomolecules or biological vesicles in the human body. Operating with submolecular interactions, it offers the potential for unique and novel approaches with a broad spectrum of applications in cancer treatment including areas such as diagnostics, therapeutics, and prognostics. The early detection and diagnosis of cancer can reduce the death rate of cancer patients. The sharp rise in cases of oral cancer is a big concern for India subcontinent due to lack of awareness and late stage detection. The most common treatment for this cancer is surgery and chemotherapy. However, nanotechnology-based devices are being explored for rapid diagnosis of oral cancer. Micro and nanodevices also open pathways to developing new and efficient therapeutic approaches to cancer treatment that can overcome numerous barriers posed by the human body compared to conventional approaches. In recent years, nanomaterials have exhibited strong promise and progress in radically changing the approach to oral cancer detection and treatment.
