Abstract
The applications of nanotechnology significantly benefit clinical practices in cancer diagnosis, management and treatment. This article reveals the application of nanotechnology in cancer treatment by using the different strategies for example use of nanoparticles like liposomes, dendrimers, nanoshells, carbon nanotubes, superpara-magnetic, silver/gold nanoparticles and nucleic acid based nanoparticles as well as the nanotechnology for a combination of therapeutic strategies. The advantages and challenges of these particles are also discussed. The use of different green synthesized based gold and silver nanoparticles are important for the apoptosis of different types of cancerous cells. Both size and shapes of these particles are important from the biological point of view and from the material characteristics. In present review we have also highlighted the role of some advanced nano-technologies and bio-therapeutics for diagnose and treatment of this lethal disease. Keywords: Liposomes; Gold nanoparticles; Silver nanoparticles; Super paramagnetic; Anti-tumor; Bio-therapeutics http://dx.doi.org/10.19045/bspab.2017.60034
Highlights
The applications of nanotechnology significantly benefit clinical practices in cancer diagnosis, management and treatment
The carrying capability of carbon nanotubes and their intrinsic optical properties can help for the synthesizing new class of important nano-materials against cancer disease Different gold nanoparticles Gold nanoparticles are one of the best options used for cancerous cell detection because they have valuable attributes of light emission and absorption
It has been expected that these attributes of gold nanoparticles can be employed for cancer diagnosis Recently a new technique has been developing in which nanoparticles are coated by the material which has properties of attraction to specific cells or molecules e.g. specialized antibodies are attached to nanoparticles of gold which are attracted to cancerous cells when mixed with containing cancer cells
