Cancer Therapy: Potential Applications of Nanotechnology

Cancer Therapy: Potential Applications of Nanotechnology provides readers with a compendium of all the latest research work in cancer therapeutics, including an emphasis on work in nanotechnology and polymeric nanoparticles. While there have been a large number of ongoing research projects and publications on the treatment of cancer, there is a limited number of books related to nanotechnology, especially those with an emphasis on polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapy. This title enlightens researchers and students and provides exhaustive knowledge on the topics covered. Provides a complete overview of the application of different polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics: from characterization of nanoparticles to in vitro and in vivo studies.Contains a detailed description of the delivery of therapeutic molecules with different polymers realized with nanomedicine in cancer therapeutics.Discusses newly developed promising polymers in cancer.Describes polymeric nanoparticle and their role in theranostics pertaining to cancer.Reviews clinical relevance of different polymeric formulations in the field of cancer INDICE: 1.
