Abstract

Cancer is a fatal condition brought on by unchecked cellular growth. One of the gravest dangers to people worldwide is this. Both the incidence and mortality of cancer are rising. With their great benefits, particularly in the treatment of cancer, nanoparticles have revolutionized the globe. Conventional chemotherapy used to be the main treatment option for patients. Chemotherapeutics, however, also have several pharmacological drawbacks, including drug resistance, drug-drug interactions, water solubility, and stability. Reciprocally, dose-limiting toxicity is important, with non-specific toxicity to healthy cells, appetite loss, hair loss, peripheral neuropathy, vomiting, fatigued muscles, and diarrheal being the usual side effects. Drug delivery systems employ nanocarriers such as gold nanoparticles, high-density lipoprotein nanostructures, polymer nanoparticles, dendrimers, quantum dots, and nanodiamonds.
