A review on application of nanoparticles for cancer therapy

Abstract

In recent years, scientific societies had warmly embraced nanotechnology as an emerging field in cancer therapy. Nanotechnology has had a profound influence on almost every aspect of the twenty-first century’s diurnal life. During the past years, nanomaterials have been successfully applied in different biomedical fields; especially in cancer therapy. While cancer is one of the deadliest disorders worldwide, there is a need to develop novel anticancer approaches. In this review, we explained various kinds of nanoparticles such as liposome-based and polymeric nanoparticles and dendrimers along with their applications in cancer therapy.
