Abstract
People have been suffering from cancer and associated problems for many
years. A great amount of improvement has occurred in the field of medical science, and
it certainly has benefitted humankind to help live a happy and prosperous life. Despite
all these things, cancer treatment remains a provocative question as every year cases
are increasing; on the contrary, there are a lot of difficulties associated with cancer
treatment. To cope with these unique and mischievous problems, nanotechnology is
considered a boon. Various nanoparticle facilitates the required characteristics to
deliver a specific active therapeutic agent against the cancer cells. They can be targeted
and even modified to fulfill specific pharmacokinetic parameters vital for in vivo
delivery of drugs along with Nano-systems. This chapter here focuses on various types
of nanoparticles and nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery of certain therapeutic agents.
Keywords: Cancer, Clinical trials, Combined therapy, Liposomes, Metal-based nanoparticles, Nanoparticles, Nanotechnology, SiRNA, Targeted therapy.
