Nanotechnology in Cancer Treatment: Revolutionizing Targeted Therapy and Improving Patient Outcomes

Abstract

Cancer is among the high death causes worldwide, and therefore more innovative treatment approaches need to be discovered. The paper reviews the employment of nanotechnology in oncology with regard to creating targeted drug delivery systems with nanoparticles. The engineering of drug delivery using nanoparticles has enabled it to target chemotherapy drugs into tumor cells, thus significantly improving treatment effectiveness as well as minimizing systemic toxicity. Additionally, nanoscale imaging agents advanced early detection and real-time monitoring of tumors that help intervene timely. The interaction of nanotechnology with immunotherapy as well as radiation therapy is discussed against the backdrop of strategies for combination therapy that have implications on the therapy outcomes. It will be our focus to highlight and emphasize the potential of impacting paradigm shifts in cancer treatment with the help of nanotechnology and improved patient outcome.
